Mastering Conflict: Healthy Communication in Relationships
People don't understand that listening is an art, because when you're upset and you want to shoot out at the mat and defend yourself, it's kind of hard to stay quiet and just have your ears open to the other person.
Ever found yourself in an argument that spiraled out of control? In this episode of Tearapy Recovery, host Kyle and guest Claudeen Seal dive into the art of 'fighting fair' and why it's crucial for maintaining strong, healthy relationships. Claudeen, who is pursuing a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health, shares her journey and insights drawn from her own family history of mental illness.
She believes that to truly change our world, we must first better ourselves and build healthy relationships within our families and communities. One standout point from their discussion is the importance of healing personal wounds before stepping into a relationship. By identifying our triggers and understanding how our past influences us, we can break harmful patterns and foster healthier connections.
The episode also touches on involving children in conversations about disagreements and the role of spiritual guidance in communication and healing. To wrap things up, Kyle and Claudeen guide listeners through a calming gratitude exercise, encouraging them to imagine a peaceful space and reflect on a favorite scripture, quote, or song. This episode is packed with practical advice and heartfelt insights that can help anyone navigate the complexities of relationships with grace and understanding.
