Most couples come into my office convinced they know exactly what the problem is. But what if the thing creating the most friction in your relationship isn't what you think it is?
In this episode, I share one of the most common patterns I see in conflict and why it can be so difficult to recognize in ourselves.
- The relationship dynamic I see more often than disagreements about money, sex, parenting, or in-laws
- Why we tend to feel so certain we're seeing the situation clearly
- A simple question that can completely change how you approach conflict
This Week's Invitation
The next time you find yourself frustrated with someone, pause before deciding they're the problem. Spend a few minutes wondering what you might not be seeing yet.
