Healthy Conflict: Dr Raju Hajela’s Guide to Better Relationships on HUM Zinger

I think it helps a great deal if my starting point is that I'll celebrate differences of opinion as opposed to just sticking to my opinion. We're currently it feels like we're othering each other when we do that.
Ever felt like conflicts in your relationships are a ticking time bomb? You're not alone. In this episode of HUM Zinger, hosts Sue Newton and Mike Davies sit down with Dr Raju Hajela to tackle the thorny issue of relationship conflicts. Dr Hajela, an expert in addiction and recovery, brings his wealth of knowledge to the table, offering practical advice on navigating disagreements without losing your cool.
The conversation dives into the heart of common conflict triggers—beliefs, expectations, and assumptions—and how they can derail even the strongest relationships. Dr Hajela emphasizes the importance of celebrating differences rather than clinging to the need to be right. He shares strategies for self-reflection and maintaining a neutral stance, which can transform heated arguments into productive dialogues. Plus, the episode explores the often-overlooked link between conflict and substance use, shedding light on how unresolved tensions can lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms.
As always, Sue and Mike wrap up with their signature 'Hum Zinger question', injecting a bit of humor into the discussion. If you're looking to turn your relationship conflicts into opportunities for growth, this episode is a must-listen.
