Why Some Relationship Conflicts Feel So Personal

Why do some relationship conflicts feel so emotionally charged and personal? Today we explore the idea that conflict is often not “me vs you,” but rather “me vs me”. In other words, “self vs self” instead of “self vs other”. We talk through: How to see if conflict is coming from an internal struggle, rather than someone else’s behavior How jealousy, resentment, and emotional triggers can reveal deeper needs or fears What to ask to help uncover an internal conflict for yourself This Week   This week when conflict or irritation comes up.  Slow down. Ask yourself, “What is this bringing up for me?” Notice the difference between what you’re blaming and what you may actually be longing for. And then, take some time to give yourself credit and allow your opinion to matter to you on what you’re doing.
