The closeness we want in our relationship is often hiding behind our unresolved conflicts. When you’re having the same fights over and over, it makes both partners feel misunderstood and unheard. And past hurts, like a trauma background, a betrayal, or having felt unsupported during tough times, can complicate this even more. Often, we avoid being honest because we’re afraid it’ll lead to more arguments. Or that our partner won’t understand. But what if there was a different path? What if, inste

No one talks about how exhausting it is to try conflict resolution skills on someone who won't respond. You're here trying to be gentle. You're trying not to arouse defensiveness. You're using "I feel" statements. You're using all the soft startup skills you learned, but nothing is happening. And then you get frustrated. Then you start to get heated. Then it's like "Fine! Why do you do that?! Why do you get critical and angry?!" Because they won't listen. Because they won't remember. Because the

Not all anger is the same. Generally, we can break it down into two forms: those who express it when they’re overwhelmed, and those who use it for manipulation and abuse. Recognizing these distinct types helps in deciding whether to approach with warmth or set boundaries. If someone’s anger is coming from a place of overwhelm, responding with compassion can often defuse the situation and encourage them to express their underlying emotions. This isn't about justifying or dismissing their anger, b

➡️ How you deal with conflict might be the key to your relationship. That’s because conflict, when mishandled, avoided, or minimized, can erode the intimacy between you. But it doesn’t have to be that way. If you want to unlock deeper intimacy and connection in your relationship by moving past conflict, I joined forces with Jimmy Knowles to create a resource that can help. We’re calling it “From Stuck To Secure Workshop”, and it’s a unique opportunity to access our 4-part conflict course along w

Constantly avoiding conflict doesn’t preserve the relationship; it prevents it from reaching its fullest potential. Whether it's the fear of being rejected, wanting to keep the peace, having unresolved issues from our past, or simply not knowing how to express ourselves... opting out of conflict might seem like the easier and safer option in the moment. But the thing is, consistently evading conflict is hindering our relationships more than helping them. When we avoid these challenging conversat

The problem isn’t just that we have memories of difficult experiences. It’s that some of them remain “unprocessed”, to use a therapy term. They’re stuck, creating tension in our bodies and emotional struggles that seem to never go away. overwhelming, and disconnected from time. “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will rule your life and you will call it fate.” –Carl Jung There are the obvious traumatic things we go through… memories you think about often.

To be clear: I’m not telling folks to leave their parents when there is conflict. I’m speaking to those moments when a parent refuses to acknowledge a pattern that’s clearly harmful. In those cases, a boundary is not punishment, it is an invitation into a healthier relationship.� Think of it like this, “I want you in my life, please come in, just shoes off.” If they refuse to take the shoes off, the boundary is simply you protecting the space, not rejecting the person.

There’s a heaviness that settles in when a parent and adult child aren’t on good terms. It’s not just the silence. It’s the guilt and wondering if you should’ve said more... or less... or just said it differently. It can feel like you're frozen in a moment you didn’t choose. So you start to question yourself… Am I giving up too soon? What if it's already too late? Underneath it all... there’s this fear that maybe this is just how things are now.
