Why Do We Keep Fighting About the Same Thing? | Understanding Conflict & Growth

In this episode, we dive deep into why couples often find themselves arguing about the same issues repeatedly, and how unresolved conflicts can keep you stuck in a cycle. Learn the difference between productive conflict and destructive fighting, and how to navigate tough conversations to foster growth and connection. We'll also explore insights from the Gottman method and how to identify the 'Four Horsemen' of relationship conflict—criticism, defensiveness, contempt, and stonewalling—and more importantly, how to overcome them for a healthier, stronger relationship.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Ever wondered how to heal from past trauma, navigate parenting challenges, or manage life transitions?
