If you are in a relationship, you have to hear this episode. It will be as enjoyable as it will be strikingly helpful to you and your partner. According to psychotherapist and author, Keith Wilson, if you are in a real relationship and you haven't had a conflict yet – you haven't been paying attention. As Keith describes, violence is the avoidance of conflict. Being able to work through clashes as a couple, offers great potential. With anecdote, metaphor and examples, Keith draws upon 30 years of practice with couples to discuss the steps for regulating conflict. He will invite you to turn off the alarm in your head that scans partner disconnection, know where and how to ask the right questions – be it about an affair or getting up for the kids. He will clarify how to give and get feedback, avoid the four fouls that contaminate any conflict and turn conflict into really knowing, trusting and loving each other. Listen in.

Simply put, our primary relationships play a big part in how happy we are. Yet our brains are not really designed to be good at relationships; instead, our brains are designed for our survival and energy conservation.  So, although our brains are the most complicated structures in the known universe, they need training to be good in relationship. And, as anyone in relationship will tell you, they take work. And because those brains like to conserve energy, it's easy for us to fall asleep at the wheel while we're in them. It's no wonder we get into so much trouble in our relationships! I'm so grateful to the thought leaders who are at the forefront of couple counseling. If I had to choose a superhero team of the biggest contributors to improving relationships, without question, this episode's guest would be one of them. This will be my second interview with Dr. Stan Tatkin, and if I have my way, there will be more! Stan has trained hundreds, if not thousands of therapists in his Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy model which has improved the lives of countless people on our planet.  Stan's latest book, In Each Other's Care, just came out and it is awesome. To quote relationship expert and SuperPsyched guest, Terry Real, “Stan reminds us that taking care of one another, of our union, is taking care of ourselves.”  So, listen in as Stan explains why and how to be in each other's care.

Hazel Brugger und Thomas Spitzer sind Comedians, Arbeitskolleg*innen, Ehepartner*innen, Eltern und Stammgäste im Hotel Matze. Vor anderthalb Jahren haben wir das erste Mal zu einer Art Couple Therapy eingecheckt. Nach dem damaligen Gespräch hatte ich mir ein bisschen Sorgen gemacht, wie die beiden alles hinbekommen. Hazel wurde einerseits immer bekannter, sie war auf großer Tour, im Fernsehen und auf Magazincovern und gleichzeitig eben junge und vor allem übermüdete Mutter. Und Thomas ging es nicht viel besser. Im letzten Jahr hat Hazel öffentlich von ihrer Überlastung gesprochen. Ich wollte wissen, wie es ihnen jetzt geht und habe schnell gemerkt, dass es ihnen viel, viel besser geht. Meine Fragen an sie waren: Wie habt ihr das hingekriegt? Wie passt ihr jetzt auf euch auf? Und was braucht ihr nicht mehr?

In this episode of the Breaking Free podcast, I explore conflict management and decision-making with special guest Kimberly Best, a highly experienced family mediator, facilitator, and author. Kimberly sharesher wealth of knowledge by offering valuable tools and techniques for effectively dealing with conflicts. She explains why blaming others is a common but ineffective approach and instead focuses on the importance of finding alternative solutions that benefit all parties involved. Additionally, Best provides guidance for making difficult decisions, including end-of-life issues, that you can use in your own lives. With practical advice on managing conflicts at work, with partners, or with children, you're sure to walk away from this episode with a better understanding of how to handle these situations in a constructive and empathetic manner.Discussed in this episode:Understanding mediation and how to find resolutions when facing conflict (1:30)Distinctions between Couple Therapy and Mediation (5:00)How blame doesn't help and takes away your power and agency (6:25)Advice from a book by William Ury on how to untangle the People from the Problem in order to find an effective solution (10:30)Parent struggles with teens and how to move forward after the conflict (15:00)Why understanding your own triggers, helps you respond better next time (19:00)Find out your values and understand the values of those close to you (20:38)A way to develop self-awareness in the moment with a keyword that helps you step back and regroup (23:30)Feelings of shame that surface when people are told that they have disappointed others (30.22)Kim's book HOW TO LIVE FOREVER is a guide to writing the final chapter of your life story (31:00)Connect with Kimberly:Website:https://www.bestconflictsolutions.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimberlybestmediator/FB: https://www.facebook.com/bestconflictsolutionsInsta: https://www.instagram.com/kimberly_a_best/Twitter: https://twitter.com/kimberly_a_bestBook: How to live forever https://amzn.eu/d/61JorTcReferences:William Ury's book: https://www.williamury.com/books/getting-to-yes/Values test: https://www.viacharacter.org/Let's connect!FacebookInstagramTwitterLinkedInWebsite Hosted on Acast.

Australian Relationships Therapist Lissy Abrahams has spent years exploring this question, both in her treatment room helping clients and through extensive research.  Lissy knows that long-term conflict leaves us drained, anxious and worried for the emotional wellbeing of our families, but says it is neither intractable nor inevitable. Conflict is caused by unconscious patters of thinking and behaviour - unresolved feelings of fear, instability or pain - which can be consciously rewired for a healthier, happier relationship. Lissy has seen firsthand how even small changes can help people reduce conflict and reconnect with their partners, improving their quality of life. In Relationship Reset, Lissy provides practical, evidence-based tools to help you: understand how childhood experiences affect adult relationships identify your blind spots, defence mechanisms and triggers and recognise them in others become aware of patterns in conflict, and learn new ways to respond to distress communicate clearly and openly with your partner, without judgement develop a more trusting, intimate and stable relationship Filled with insightful research, case studies and exercises, Relationship Reset will help you rewire the stories underlying your emotional life, and build a secure and loving union. Lissy Abrahams is a leading individual and couple psychotherapist who has dedicated her career to helping hundreds of clients navigate life's obstacles and challenges. Lissy studied psychology in Sydney and then completed her Masters of Couple Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy at the internationally renowed Tavistock Relationships, London. Here, she worked therapeutically with couples, as well as lectured and tutored trainee counsellors. Lissy founded and manages a Sydney-based therapy clinic, Heath Group Practice, and works therapeutically with clients around the world.  She has launched a successful online course to help partners stop fighting, communicate respectfully and rekindle love. Lissy believes we all have the capacity to improve our lives and relationships with the right knowledge and practical strategies, which she offers in her first book Relationship Reset.
