Discover the two healthy choices that lead to connection, resolution, and intimacy.
Think conflict is the enemy of a good relationship? Dr. Margaret Paul is here to flip that idea on its head. In this episode of 'Inner Bonding', she dives into the heart of relationship conflicts and how they can actually pave the way to deeper intimacy and understanding. Forget the notion that relationships should be all smooth sailing; Dr. Paul explains why conflict is not just inevitable but also essential for true connection.
She breaks down how our fight-or-flight response kicks in during disagreements, making it hard to really hear each other. But here's the twist: both partners usually have valid reasons for their feelings and beliefs. By approaching these tense moments with an open mind and a genuine desire to understand, you can transform conflict into a learning experience. Dr. Paul warns against coming into a conflict with an agenda, as it can turn manipulative and hinder resolution.
So what do you do if the other person isn't ready to talk? Dr. Paul suggests focusing on self-care and taking a break until both parties are calm and open. Once the dust settles, you can come back together and share your newfound insights. Through the practice of Inner Bonding, you can learn to love yourself better and, in turn, share that love with others.
If you're tired of seeing conflict as a roadblock and want to turn it into an opportunity for growth, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to 'Inner Bonding' with Dr. Margaret Paul and discover how to navigate disagreements in a way that brings you closer together.
