Who’s responsible?

You are at least 30% responsible for any given conflict in your relationships (John Gottman).

🔗 Show openness and check defensiveness

🔗 Understand and accept your contribution to the conflict

🔗 Sometimes, just saying ‘ok, I think I understand’ can put a stop to escalation

While these things can be very challenging and sometimes painful to do, they can have a powerful impact in healing relationships.

Seek therapy and learn how to reconcile and repair conflicts rather than dragging them on.
