Ep 72: From the Therapy Room: From Rupture to Repair.

Conflict is a natural part of every relationship—but staying stuck in the same patterns doesn't have to be.In this short From the Therapy Room episode, I share a simple process I often use with people to help move through conflict toward connection. Drawing from over 30 years as a psychotherapist, we'll explore how increasing self-awareness, naming what you're feeling, and identifying what you need can interrupt old patterns and create space for meaningful repair.In this episode, we explore:Why relationship conflict can become a repetitive "dance"The importance of noticing your own emotional reactionsHow putting words to your feelings helps regulate the brain and bodyExpressing feelings and needs with clarity and compassionWhy your partner can't read your mind...How small moments of repair can strengthen connection over timeAn invitation:This week, notice one moment when you feel yourself reacting. Pause. Take a breath. Ask yourself:What am I feeling?What do I need?You might be surprised by what you discover.If you're enjoying these short reflections, I'd love to hear from you. Share this episode with someone who might find it helpful, and be sure to follow Living Big Mindfully so you never miss a new episode.Until next time!Send us Fan MailSupport the show👉 Support the show: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2217305/support✨ The Free Aging Better Toolkit : https://livingbigmindfully.com/aging-better💌 Join the Thrive & Shine newsletter: https://livingbigmindfully.com/thrive-%26-shineAn occasional, intentional letter with reflections, resources, in-person gatherings, speaking updates, and new episodes—designed to support you in living a longer, stronger, more intentional life.As I spend less time on social media, this is the best way to stay connected.Connect:Web: https://livingbigmindfully.com/Contact: https://livingbigmindfully.com/contactYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LivingBigMindfullyFB https://www.facebook.com/livingbigmindfully/IG: https://www.instagram.com/katechampionauthor/
