“Everything ends with an argument…” 5 Steps to overcoming REACTIVITY with author and columnist Lair Torrent

One of the most common challenges when relationships are not working, is that communication can seem broken… maybe we have the same argument again and again, or maybe we never even seem to get to the key point. What is really going on here, and is it REALLY our communication that’s the problem or could it be something else? If you ever feel that communication is your challenge, and maybe even that “EVERYTHING ends with an argument…”, you are going to want to find out the 5 steps for overcoming reactivity with the incredible Lair Torrent. Lair is a clinically trained psychotherapist and mindfulness-based family therapist, best-selling author and contributing columnist at inc.com. He has just authored a new book titled The Practice of Love, Break old Patterns, Rebuild Trust and Create a Connection That Lasts. We’re going to be looking at: How we get triggered, and how it impacts on our partner and our relationship… and how we can de-escalate things Dealing with a partner that is less keen to work on the relationship than we may be, and looking to improve the relationship regardless Shifting from a ‘me’ centred way of thinking to a ‘we’ centred one to support the relationship How the narratives that we select lead us to telling stories - either empowering ones or otherwise Why we think we should just ‘know’ how relationships work, but without a framework or educational system to make them work The benefit of self-awareness and mindfulness in getting a handle of the challenges that we are experiencing Actions that we can take now if we’re committed to improvement to start shifting to a more present place where the relationship can really work You can find out more about Lair, and get a copy of his new book at lairtorrent.com
