Podcasts about Conflict resolution

Alice Driscoll and Louise van Harrst join me today. We talk about their book, Smart Conflict: How to have hard conversations at work. Our conversation is in two parts. Last time, in Part 1, we covered the foundation for the contents of the book and discuss and overview of the five Rs of their model. This time, in Part 2, we continue with a deeper dive into those five Rs – noting that it is possible to jump in wherever it feels right to you in the moment.

Written communication has expanded from formal emails to Slack messages, tweets, and video scripts. But are you being understood? In this "Quick Fix" episode, Paul and Matt break down why the way we were taught to write in school fails us at work and how the lack of intonation in text creates emotional misunderstandings. Paul introduces a four-layer framework to ensure your writing is effective and resonant, and issues a warning about using AI: don't let it destroy your authenticity.Key Takeaways:• The Sender-Receiver Gap: What feels positive to you as the sender can often be received negatively. Text lacks the vocal cues that usually signal intent, creating a gap where uncertainty and anxiety emerge.• The Framework for Excellence (The 4 Rs): To move from "functionally okay" to excellent, layer your communication to be:    1. Real: Truthful and clear.    2. Receivable: Short sentences that are easy to process.    3. Relevant: Focused on what the other person needs to know, not just what you want to say.    4. Resonant: Toned appropriately for the relationship and circumstance.• The AI Warning: While AI is useful early in the drafting process, relying on it too heavily can strip away your unique voice. This creates cognitive dissonance when people eventually meet you in person and the "real you" doesn't match your written persona.The "Quick Fix" Challenge: Before you hit send on your next important email or text, pause. Read it through the eyes of the receiver. Better yet, use a text-to-speech tool to listen to it. Hearing your words read back to you can reveal issues with tone and clarity that your eyes might miss.Resources & References:• Book Mentioned: Smart Brevity (Recommended for structure, but use with caution to remain authentic).• Tool: Speechify (Text-to-speech app).Up Next: Join us Thursday for a deep dive with Bill Kirst on maintaining our humanity in the age of AI, and tune in next Tuesday for a Quick Fix on Conflict Resolution.Humanity Working is a podcast focused on helping individuals, teams and organizations be ready for the future of work by maximizing their human potential.For more information, and access to our weekly newsletter, visit us at humanityworking.net.

Send us a textWhen did the internet become safer than honest conversation with your spouse?In this eye-opening episode of Marriage Mondays with The Kings, we unpack a growing trend that is quietly reshaping marriages. A 2025 survey reveals that 64% of married Americans search online for marriage help before speaking to their spouse, often out of fear of conflict, misunderstanding, or making things worse.Couples are turning to AI, Google, forums, and social media for answers — while real conversations at home go untouched.In this episode, we discuss: • Why couples trust AI more than their partner • The emotional fears behind silent searching • The Top 10 most-searched marriage questions people ask online • How avoiding hard conversations damages trust and intimacy • What Scripture teaches us about communication • Practical, faith-based tools to help couples reconnect and healFocal Scripture: James 1:19If you feel disconnected, unheard, or unsure how to start the hard conversations in your marriage, this episode will challenge you, encourage you, and give you tools to begin doing the root work that leads to real healing.This is a conversation every couple needs to hear.Support the show

In Week 2 of In The Neighborhood, we look at Jesus' teaching in Matthew 18:15–20 about how His people are called to deal with conflict. The main idea of this message is clear and hopeful: Jesus is God with us together.Rather than ignoring hurt or allowing division to grow, Jesus gives His church a path toward honesty, repentance, forgiveness, and restoration. And He promises that when we pursue unity in His way, He is present with us.This episode explores how Christian community is strengthened not by avoiding conflict, but by bringing it into the light—because Jesus meets us there.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In this episode, I guide you through the emotional terrain of setting boundaries, especially during the holidays, without guilt, shame, or disconnection. We explore the difference between a boundary and an ultimatum, how to honor your nervous system while still staying connected to loved ones, and why validation is essential when expressing your limits with compassion.I also dive into the importance of culturally sensitive boundary setting, highlighting how our upbringing and cultural values shape the way we approach family, obligation, and personal autonomy. Drawing from current research and real-life client conversations, I offer gentle yet effective re-frames that help you protect your peace while preserving the relationships that matter most.Plus, I share five boundary scripts you can use right away; whether you're navigating gift-giving pressure, overcommitment, political debates at the dinner table, or simply honoring your emotional and financial bandwidth. ♾ In a fast-paced world like the one we live in, time is one of our most important assets.

But during this season for many there is the reality of holiday stress wrapped up in family drama, family dysfunction.

The holidays can be a little chaotic as we navigate all of these emotions.Please join us as Pastor Donnie continues our series “Christ In The Chaos” as he teaches on conflict resolution.

Are you and your partner stuck in the same arguments over and over? In this episode, which is the third in my new series called "Common Communication Patterns That Keep Couples Stuck — And How to Get Unstuck," I'll break down how rushing to get through a conflict might feel like progress, but is ultimately unproductive and keeps you stuck and frustrated.  I'll introduce my Heart-Centered Conflict Navigation Roadmap, an NVC-based approach that guides couples through conflict in a connecting, productive, and efficient way. You'll learn why slowing down, empathic understanding, and heart-centered communication are the keys to resolving conflict in a way that's collaborative, creative, and lasting. Plus, I'll share simple + practical tips you can start using today to move from "me vs. you" to "we're in this together," and why a few focused minutes of connection can save you hours of fruitless fighting. If you've ever thought, "We don't have time for this," or "We know each other's needs, but we're still stuck," this episode is for you.   Want to learn NVC with Ali?

Send Wilk a text with your feedback!Episode 293 with guest Nathan StockIn this episode, Wilk sits down with international conflict-resolution specialist Nathan Stock, a man with more than 20 years of experience working to reduce violence and strengthen democracy around the world. Nathan shares how his journey began as an English teacher in Gaza during the Al-Aqsa Intifada — an experience that taught him how quickly societies can shift from tension to full-scale conflict.Nathan explains the unsettling parallels he now sees in American political polarization: declining trust in institutions, tribal media bubbles, and the growing tendency to view political opponents as evil rather than human. But he also emphasizes the hopeful part: we still have agency, and personal relationships across difference remain one of the strongest antidotes to toxic polarization.Topics include: • Lessons from living through violent conflict • Why good people can be driven to do bad things • The role of media consumption in shaping our “reality” • Declining trust in institutions • How everyday citizens can help reduce political hostility • Building cross-partisan relationships that humanize, not demonizeLearn more about and connect with Nathan Stock by getting the full show notes at www.DerateTheHate.com.The world is a better place if we are better people.

Many of us believe that holding an avoidant accountable means talking to them like they are an idiot and we are their parent. How many of us liked it when our parents, or anyone in authority held us accountable? No one! We revelled and worse, you ignore and avoided as much as we could. Yes- my anxious attached friends. Even you did that.Most people are online telling us that we need to hold avoidant attached persons accountable and that is true. However, what we think is "holding them accountable" is actually coming across to them as "control."Let's sort out this messy issue but highlight what we think is an ultimatum, what the avoidant hears and how we can do "accountability" right.I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode.

Way back in March 2020, I published two episodes about VUCA. VUCA V - U -C- A is an acronym describing a concept that was developed by the U. S. Army War College to describe the world after the end of the Cold War. A world that was more Volatile, V; Uncertain, U: Complex, C; and Ambiguous, A.Peter Schein talked with me in Episode 361, published two weeks ago, about his book, Humble Inquiry: The Gentle Art of Asking Instead of Telling, which was published earlier this year.In the book, Peter refers to VUCAA. That's VUCA with an additional A. The second A stands for Anxiety. Difficult enough to deal with volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. Anxiety affects our ability to handle every one of those.What can we do about it all in the context of conflict?We can start by recognizing that we come from different perspectives.VUCAA may be our new norm.  And, we will benefit from recognizing that we won't all experience it or deal with it the same way. And we can exercise as much grace as we can muster. Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest? An idea or question about conflict management or conflict resolution?

You're an institution. Time to invest like one.-------------------------------------When a patient storms in frustrated or scared, what if you could de-escalate in under 90 seconds? In this eye-opening episode, host Dr Bradley Block chats with Doug Noll, as he explains "affect labeling": simply reflecting emotions ("You're frustrated, worried, scared") to downshift the brain's limbic system and reactivate executive function. Backed by UCLA studies, this tool builds instant trust, makes visits efficient, and works on anyone, from ER patients to grocery clerks. Learn the 3-step process: ignore words for 90 seconds, read emotions innately, and reflect without "I understand." Doug shares role-plays, practice tips like labeling TV ads or silent shows, and why this flips arguments by meeting the universal need to be heard. Perfect for physicians facing high-stakes emotions, this episode equips you to listen people "into existence" for calmer, more connected care.Three Actionable Takeaways:Master Affect Labeling Basics: Ignore words for 90 seconds, read emotions instinctively (we're hardwired for it), and reflect with "You" statements like "You're frustrated, scared, confused." This downshifts the limbic system, calms patients fast, and builds trust by showing deep understanding without saying "I get it."Practice Everywhere for Real-World Skill: Label emotions in ads, silent TV scenes, or checkout chats to hone listening without words. Start with strangers ("You're excited your shift's ending?") to see shoulders drop and rapport build, proving it works beyond medicine, even in prisons or arguments.Flip Tension into Connection: In visits, label all fears upfront (pain, failure as parents) to deregulate emotions, then hype positively ("You're loving, doing everything right"). This meets the unmet need to be heard, ends escalations, and makes encounters efficient, enjoyable, and loyalty-building.About the Show:Succeed In Medicine  covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more. If you're tired of dull medical lectures, tune in for real-world lessons we should have learned in med school!About the Guest:Doug Noll is a former civil trial lawyer turned award-winning mediator and peacemaker.

https://teachhoops.com/ The pressure from parents and external sources is often the single biggest stressor for coaches, frequently driving good people out of the profession entirely. It usually stems from a place of misguided love; parents naturally want the best for their child, but this desire often manifests as unrealistic expectations regarding playing time, role, and "exposure." This external noise becomes dangerous when it bleeds into the locker room, creating a "me vs. the coach" narrative that undermines the team culture. The "ride home" conversation, where a parent critiques the coach's decisions to their child, can undo a week's worth of confidence-building and coaching in a fifteen-minute car ride. The most effective defense against this pressure is proactive, brutal transparency. You cannot wait for a complaint to set a boundary. A mandatory pre-season parent meeting is essential, where you clearly articulate your coaching philosophy, your policy on playing time (e.g., "playing time is earned, not given"), and your communication protocols. Implementing a strict "24-Hour Rule"—where parents must wait one day after a game before contacting the coach with a concern—is a non-negotiable tool. This cooling-off period prevents emotional confrontations and allows logic to return to the conversation. Furthermore, coaches must make it clear that they will discuss a player's behavior, attitude, and improvement plan, but they will never discuss another player or strategy with a parent. Finally, managing external pressure requires a "shield the team" mentality. Whether the pressure is coming from parents, the administration, or the community demanding a championship, it is the coach's job to absorb that stress so the players don't feel it. You must constantly pivot the focus back to the "process"—the daily habits, the effort, and the development—rather than the outcome on the scoreboard. By keeping your communication consistent and your standards visible, you build a layer of insulation. You won't make everyone happy, but by being fair, communicative, and firm in your convictions, you earn the respect of the silent majority who simply want a positive environment for their kids.

My most recent guest, Peter Schein, talked with me about his book, Humble Inquiry: The Gentle Art of Asking Instead of Telling. Peter makes a distinction between Humble Inquiry and humility. The Humble Inquiry attitude does not require humility as a personality trait. Some of us do tend toward arrogance. Yet, that trait does not preclude the application of Humble Inquiry. Peter suggests thinking of Here-and-now Humility: accepting that there are times when we are dependent on each other for sharing information and achieving goals.  No one needs to undergo a complete personality makeover to embrace the art and attitude of Humble Inquiry.  But it would likely be good to move in that direction.Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?

Fix Your Fantasy League's Biggest Problems with These Simple Strategies! Conflict Resolution, Collusion Prevention & Protecting League Integrity. Welcome to Episode 3 of the Footballguys Home League Show—your weekly guide to building fun, competitive, and connected fantasy football home leagues. Hosted by Kevin Murray (author of The Commissioner's Playbook) and Joey Wright (Footballguys Community Ambassador), this episode dives into one of the most important—and often overlooked—parts of running a successful league: conflict resolution, transparency, and league integrity. Fantasy football is full of highs, lows, big trades, heated chats, and unavoidable disagreements. Great leagues aren't the ones that avoid conflict—they're the ones that manage conflict well. Today, Kevin and Joey break down how commissioners and league members can protect fairness, reduce drama, avoid collusion, and strengthen trust all season long. League of the Week: The BPFL This week we spotlight the BPFL, commissioned by Billy Michalski. What started as a softball team's offseason hobby has evolved into a creative, high-engagement fantasy empire filled with traditions, identity, and league-wide pride. Highlights from BPFL: • 14-team, two-division format • Empire pot keeping long-term stakes high • Legendary draft days with full production value • Draft-order determination contests • Custom website using League Legacy • An emphasis on culture, transparency, collaboration, and connection The BPFL is a shining example of what great commissioners build: leagues with personality, pride, and long-lasting tradition. Learn more about League Legacy Websites: LeagueLegacyWebsites.com To submit your league for consideration: FBGCommish@Footballguys.com Commish Corner: Engagement in the Season of Apathy Right now is the stretch of the season where excitement peaks for some managers… and fades for others. Kevin and Joey share quick ways to re-ignite your league: • Drop memes, GIFs, and hype videos • Stir up storylines and rivalries • Create a "state of the league" update • Spotlight manager achievements • Spark discussion in the group chat Small touches often make the biggest cultural impact. Home League Huddle (Main Topic): Conflict Resolution & League Integrity Conflict is inevitable in fantasy football—trades, collusion suspicions, tanking concerns, commissioner decisions, and playoff implications all create friction. But great leagues use that friction to build stronger culture. In this episode, Kevin and Joey break down: • Why conflict management matters • How trust affects every league decision • Common sources of conflict • Preventing disputes before they start • Fair and transparent trade-review systems • Collusion-proofing your league • When (and when not) to intervene as commissioner • The "best interest of the league" clause • Healthy communication habits that sustain culture Kevin also shares an unforgettable real-life story—The Great Publix Trade Approval of 2013—and explains how a single misstep led him to create a formal league constitution. This episode shows why conflict doesn't have to break a league. When handled correctly, it builds connection, trust, and long-term stability. Last Place Lounge This week we review and rate four last-place punishments: • Street-corner costume sign • Paying next year's champion's dues • Recording a video apology • Losing a future draft pick Send in your league's punishments for a chance to be featured! Commish Hotline & Mailbag Have a question, conflict, story, dilemma, or hilarious league moment? Email us at FBGCommish@Footballguys.com and your submission may appear in a future episode.

When you enter a conflict trying to win, Deepak Chopra says you've already lost.“We can resolve any conflict,” says Dr. Deepak Chopra. All it takes is what he calls “conscious communication.”Chopra is a physician, a leading authority on integrative wellbeing, and the author of over 97 books. His “conscious communication” approach puts presence at the center of all meaningful interactions — bringing together attention, affection, appreciation, and acceptance. When applied to conflicts, his approach turns adversaries into collaborators, leading to what he calls "spiritual solutions" where diverse perspectives and problem-solving lead to better outcomes for all. “We can come up with a creative solution for any adversity,” he says. “All we want is the best outcome for everyone.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Chopra and host Matt Abrahams explore how presence transforms our interactions, why intentions enable us to accomplish more with less effort, and helpful questions to guide difficult conversations. Whether navigating conflict in our professional or personal lives, Chopra's insights show why the best resolutions come when we stop trying to be right and start trying to understand.Episode Reference Links:Deepak ChopraDeepak Chopra AIEp.138 Speak Your Truth: Why Authenticity Leads to Better Communication Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:29) - The Power of Presence (04:15) - Reframing Conflict (10:25) - The Role of Intention (12:25) - DeepakChopra.ai Explained (14:27) - The Final Three Question (19:10) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.

Drawing from over two decades as a department chair, program director, and mentor, Dr. Losee reveals how saying “yes” shaped his journey from young faculty member to national leader—and why the same word must be used intentionally at different seasons of life.The discussion explores the balance between sacrifice and wellbeing, the shifting culture of academic medicine, and how meaning and mentorship sustain long-term fulfillment. Dr. Losee also shares insights on conflict resolution, leadership development, and his latest venture, Clarity Med Solutions, where he pioneers early dispute mediation to restore trust and healing between physicians, patients, and health systems.This episode is a roadmap for physicians seeking impact, growth, and balance—without losing sight of what truly matters.Three Actionable Takeaways:Say Yes With Intention: Early in your career, saying yes opens doors, builds credibility, and creates opportunities. But as your life evolves, align your yeses with your passions—and protect your energy for what truly matters.Sacrifice is the Path to Leadership: Every leader pays a price for impact. True advancement in academic medicine requires time, service, and persistence—but when rooted in purpose, those sacrifices yield meaning and legacy.Relationships Are the Real Reward: From mentoring residents to mediating patient disputes, relationships—not titles—define success.

A video of ours recently went viral showing husbands sitting in their cars after work, and it sparked a huge conversation, why do some men need these few minutes before coming inside? Sometimes home can feel heavier than work, and that moment in the car gives a pause to transition from stress to family life. In this episode, we dive into how wives, and husbands, can create a peaceful, positive home environment that encourages connection, calm, and intimacy. We also discuss how the opposite, tension, chaos, or negativity, can make that pause even longer or more stressful.The best part? These strategies aren't complicated! With small, intentional actions, your home can feel more peaceful, unified, and welcoming, making it easier for both spouses to connect, decompress, and enjoy each other's company.If you haven't already, go check out the Ultimate Intimacy App in the app stores, or at ultimateintimacy.com to find "Ultimate Intimacy" in your marriage.

Jennifer speaks with Zen teacher Diane Musho Hamilton and facilitator Gabriel Kaigen Wilson about walking a spiritual path: not just waking up to our inherent belonging, but growing up into emotional maturity, flexibility, and courage.At the heart of the conversation is the tension many of us live inside—between enlightenment and the ego, urgency and presence, identity and oneness. Diane and Gabe offer practical, compassionate tools for navigating modern complexity without abandoning ourselves or each other.In this conversation, we explore:Why oneness isn't enough to navigate conflict:  why we need both the spiritual path (waking up) and the developmental path (growing up).How identity can be both a safe home and a tight boundary: why flexibility is essential for compassion, clarity, and connection.How reflective listening calms the nervous system; and becomes a practical, transformative way to stay connected through difference and polarization.Come join us for a light hearted conversation on how to trust the grit and wisdom of our entangled, modern life.  Links & ResourcesGet their new book Waking Up and Growing Up: Spiritual Cross Training for An Evolving World Real Life Programs: training with Diane Musho Hamilton in emotional maturity, conflict resolution and leadershipLearn more about Two Arrows Zen, a practice community co-founded by Diane Musho Hamilton and Michael Mugaku ZimmermanLearn with Gabe (Wisdom Gym and Executive Team Development)Follow Jennifer's Substack and connect with her work Gratitude for this show's theme song Inside the House, composed by the talented Yukon musician, multi-instrumentalist and sound artist Jordy Walker.

Conflict Resolution Beyond the International Relations Paradigm: Evolving Designs as a Transformative Practice in Nagorno-Karabakh and Syria (Ibidem Press, 2017) holds the promise of freeing approaches and policies with regard to politics of identity from the fatalistic grip of realism. While the conceptual literature on identity and conflicts has moved in this alternative direction, conflict resolution practice continues to rely on realist frames and acts as an unwanted auxiliary to traditional International Relations (IR). Perpetuation of conflict discourses, marginalization, and exclusion of affected populations are widespread. They are caused by the over-reliance of conflict resolution practice on the binary frames of classic IR paradigms and also by the competitive and hierarchical relationships within the field itself. Philip Gamaghelyan relies on participatory action research (PAR) and collective auto-ethnography to expose patterns of exclusion and marginalization as well as the paradoxical reproduction of conflict-promoting frames in current conflict-resolution practice applied to the Nagorno-Karabakh and Syrian crises. He builds on the work of post-modernist scholars, on reflective practice, and on discourse analysis to explore alternative and inclusive strategies with a transformative potential through reflections and actions customary for PAR. The IR discipline, that has dominated policy-making, is only one possible lens, and often a deficient one, for defining, preventing, or resolving contemporary conflicts wrapped in identity politics. Other conceptual frameworks can help to rethink our understanding of identity and conflicts and reconstruct them as performative and not static phenomena. These transformative frameworks are increasingly influential in the conflict resolution field and can be applied to policy-making. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Philip Gamaghelyan is an Associate Professor at the Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies at the University of San Diego. He has served as Director of the Master's Program in Conflict Management and Resolution, the Graduate Certificate in Mediation, and the Security Studies concentration. His teaching spans conflict analysis and resolution, mediation, media and conflict, nationalism and conflict, and intervention design, among other areas. Dr. Gamaghelyan is a conflict resolution scholar-practitioner and co-founder of the Imagine Center for Conflict Transformation, where he also serves on the Board of Directors. He is the Managing Editor of Caucasus Edition: Journal of Conflict Transformation (www.caucasusedition.net). His practical and research experience extends across the post-Soviet states of Ukraine, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia, as well as Turkey, Syria, and other conflict-affected regions, where he has worked with policymakers, journalists, educators, and civil society leaders. His current research focuses on the critical re-evaluation and redesign of conflict resolution interventions in the 21st century, as well as on shaping the future of peace studies and peace practice. Areas of Expertise: Structural and symbolic violence, Ethnically-framed conflicts, Methodological innovations and intervention design in conflict resolution practice, Discourse analysis, Action research, Conflicts in Russia and Erurasia Coming Up Soon - Recently, Professor Philip Gamaghelyan was featured on BBC Audio discussing the recent Armenia-Azerbaijan peace talks that were held at the White House.

“Holding off” may seem to be the opposite of jumping in, but there are some other angles.Holding off has a flavor of deliberate choice. I am thinking this through and reaching the conclusion that now is not the time. This is not the same as wimping out. It's a decision based on a reasoned analysis. Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest? An idea or question about conflict management or conflict resolution?

How to unlock the power of groups through collective communication.They say teamwork makes the dream work. But as Colin Fisher knows, unlocking the power of groups requires a specific kind of collective communication.Fisher is an associate professor of organizations and innovation at University College London School of Management and author of The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups. His research reveals the dichotomy of group dynamics: "Groups can be the pinnacle of human accomplishment," he says. "But groups also have these tendencies to restrict us, to take away our individuality, and to sometimes make us the worst versions of ourselves.” The key, he argues, is fostering communication that maximizes the creative synergy of collaboration while minimizing the pressure to conform.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Fisher joins host Matt Abrahams to share evidence-based strategies for effective teamwork, from selecting the ideal group size to fostering psychological safety. Whether with our coworkers, our families, or our friends, Fisher's insights reveal how collective communication can make or break group success.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Colin FisherColin's Book: The Collective EdgeEp.174 Fix Meetings: Transform Gatherings Into Meaningful MomentsEp.124 Making Meetings Meaningful Pt. 1: How to Structure and Organize More Effective Gatherings   Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:19) - Advantages and Disadvantages of Groups (03:53) - What Makes Teams Successful (05:37) - The Ideal Group Size (06:33) - Building Psychological Safety (08:49) - Launching a Team for Success (13:10) - Making Meetings More Effective (16:25) - The Final Three Questions (23:13) - Conclusion   ********This episode is sponsored by Grammarly.

In Part 2 of Why You Fell for Your Partner (and Why You Keep Fighting Them), Tony Overbay, LMFT, continues the story of Jack and Jill — a fictional couple built from hundreds of real couples he's worked with in therapy. But this time, the story shifts. What happens when children grow up with emotional safety, repair, and consistency? What does love look like when it's modeled, not managed — when connection feels safe instead of chaotic? Tony explores how secure attachment is formed through co-regulation, how parents teach emotional safety through presence instead of fixing, and how those lessons echo into adulthood — shaping how we love, argue, and connect. Through rich storytelling and neuroscience-backed insights, you'll learn: • What healthy co-regulation sounds like in real life • Why conflict in secure relationships feels safe, not scary • How consistent emotional repair rewires the brain • Why secure partners are drawn to emotional availability, not intensity • How “earned secure attachment” and therapy can break old patterns This episode isn't just a look at what healthy relationships sound like — it's a roadmap for how to build one. Because your past might explain your patterns, but it doesn't have to define your future. 00:00 Introduction and Recap of Part One 01:23 Understanding Attachment Styles 02:25 Exploring Jill's Childhood 03:16 Exploring Jack's Childhood 04:58 Healthy Emotional Regulation 06:44 Jill's Healthy Emotional Development 21:10 Jack's Healthy Emotional Development 31:28 Jack and Jill's Relationship Dynamics 35:04 Healthy Communication in Relationships 36:06 The Importance of Secure Attachment 37:08 Navigating Stress and Boundaries 40:06 Conflict Resolution and Compromise 41:43 Building a Secure Relationship 52:55 The Role of Childhood in Adult Relationships 01:02:29 The Power of Therapy and Self-Work 01:08:52 Final Thoughts on Relationship Growth Contact Tony at contact@tonyoverbay.com to learn more about his Emotional Architects men's group.
