So when you look at adverse childhood experiences- or, um, you know it's, it's often a coping mechanism- I feel better.
Ever wondered if your relationship patterns are holding you back? In this episode of 'Through Help & Back', hosts Jason Pratt and Heather Perry tackle the complex world of toxic relationships and how to communicate more effectively. They start by dissecting the trendy label 'toxic' and emphasize the importance of looking at our own actions rather than just pointing fingers at others.
The duo dives into John Gottman's famous 'four horsemen' of relationship doom: criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling, revealing how these behaviors can predict a relationship's failure within just a few years. But it's not all doom and gloom. Jason and Heather offer practical tips for breaking negative cycles, setting boundaries, and improving self-awareness. They also discuss how adverse childhood experiences can shape our adult relationships and stress the importance of seeking outside help when needed.
Whether you're struggling in a current relationship or looking to improve future ones, this episode is packed with valuable insights and actionable advice.
