First Aid for Relationship Conflicts

Jeff and Stacie try out a relationship strategy for use especially in the immediate wake of a conflict-producing event in a romantic relationship, religious community, or workplace. In order to “Taosurf” relationships, they suggest that it can be helpful to separate out a) intentions, b) actions, c) reactions, and d) resolutions. This conversation might help you think through the reasons why you get into relationship conflicts and how to not let them ruin a relationship. They discuss the difficulties of enneagram 7 and 1 relationship pairings and provide a couple examples from their own relationship to illustrate the relationship flow chart and potential first aid responses. This show was recorded off grid, beside the Colorado River, in the Mojave Desert.
