Conflict occurs in all relationships; we aren't taught how to navigate through them and negotiate so that essential needs are considered, communicated and honored. Instead, we create relationships like the models we grew up with. We tend to have poor communication tools and get into toxic cycles and end up resentful, angry, scared, hopeless, passionless, and acting out (affairs, food, addiction, shopping, video games, porn, etc) or acting in (anxiety, depression). There is another option! Collaboratively, we will look at each person's individual dynamics, as it relates to your upbringing, relationship history & socialization. then highlight how these play into your relationship cycle to inhibit the ability to connect skillfully & intimately. it takes, courage, commitment & perseverance. and, it is possible.
