Conflicts in relationships
Conflicts and ruptures in relationships are inevitable.
๐๐ผ What matters is the โwhatโ โwhenโ and the โhowโ of repair attempts.
๐๐ผ What we say or do and when and how it is done to reduce escalation can make a world of difference.
๐๐ผ When repair attempts are executed nicely and with sincerity, damage can be controlled or even reversed.
In my work with individuals, couples and families, as long as there is no abuse involved, I encourage the acceptance of conflict and repair cycles as normal and healthy.
