447 SelfWork: Seven Ways Conflict Can Work For You
Conflict can work for you and help you create more intimacy in your relationship.
I���ve worked with so many couples on how to work through conflict. And there are definite things to do and things not to do. As I said in the last episode (which you might want to listen to if you haven���t..) a relationship that avoids conflict, where one or both people don���t talk about the elephant in the room, is also avoiding (or not creating) intimacy. If they sense conflict, one or both will change the subject. Or there���ll never seem to be time for ���that thing we���ve been saying we need to talk about.���
Today we���re going to address seven excuses or justifications (or what may be wrongly called ���reasons���) how conflict sticks around ��� and doesn���t get worked through. And we���ll also focus on how to realistically approach conflict in ways that promote greater understanding and intimacy.
