What causes conflict in relationships? For most of us, the tension comes from having very different experiences of the same event. But those alternative realities don’t have to break us apart. In fact, those contradictions can bring us closer together if we learn to express our experience in terms of feeling rather than judgement. James Creighton is a psychologist and relationship consultant with 50-plus years of experience working with couples and conducting conflict resolution and communications skills training all over the world. He is the author of several books, most recently publishing Loving Through Your Differences, a guide to help couples find fulfillment THROUGH—rather than DESPITE—their differences. On this episode, James joins Emerald to explain how conflict in his own marriage called him to the study of communication in relationships. He describes how each one of us interprets events in light of our own experience, resulting in contradictory realities. Listen in for insight around the danger of disowning your own experience and learn why it’s advantageous to express your feelings rather than make judgements. What You Will Learn How James’ own marriage called him to the study of communication How each person interprets events in light of their own experience What inspired James to write about conflict from alternative realities How we generate reality as much as we experience it How to hold conflicts around values in tension vs. opposition The danger in disowning your own experience Why it’s advantageous to express feelings rather than judgements The challenge James faces in dealing with his wife’s dementia Connect with James Creighton James’ Website Connect with Emerald GreenForest Creative Age Consulting Group Emerald’s Website Emerald on LinkedIn Emerald on Twitter Emerald on Instagram Email: listeners@menonpurposepodcast.com Resources Loving Through Your Differences: Building Strong Relationships from Separate Realities by James L.

Got Empathy? That's one key that unlocks the willingness to enter into a problem-solving process with your partner, according to today's guest, Dr. James. L. Creighton. You need more! Dr. Creighton says: "Empathy allows us to enter into the emotional reality of our loved ones, so that even when there are differences, there is still shared experience." In today's episode, I'm asking how to keep that 'shared experience' loving, kind, and helpful. It takes willingness, skill, finesse, and interest to keep a relationship strong and growing. Dr. Creighton has been married for a very long time. He openly shares the good and not-so-good moments, and how he and his wife have weathered the difficult ones. His recent book, Loving Through Your Differences, draws on the latest research in cognitive science and developmental psychology to show how we invent our realities with our perceptual minds. He offers clear, concrete tools for shifting perceptions and reframing responses, with the result that couples move out of the fear and alienation of "your way or my way" and into a deep understanding of the other that allows for an "our way." HIGHLIGHTS OF TODAY'S EPISODE:Why the ability to reframe is important to loving through your differencesHow Dr. Creighton's Five Minute Rule helps let off steamImportant steps in the problem-solving process that can't be missedHow to get past not agreeing with each other Do we have to share an "emotional reality" in order to stay together? >>>>> Don't miss all the good stuff at the bottom of this page for you.

This week on Relationships 2.0 my guest is James Creighton PhD author of Loving Through Your Differences: Building Strong Relationships From Separate Realities About the book: Dr. James Creighton has worked with couples for decades, facilitating communication and conflict resolution and teaching them the tools to build healthy, happy relationships. He has found that many couples start out believing they like the same things, see people the same way, and share a united take on the world. But inevitably differences crop up, and it can be profoundly discouraging to find that one’s partner sees a person, situation, or decision completely differently. Although many relationships flounder at this point, Creighton shows that this can actually be an opportunity to forge stronger ties. In Loving through Your Differences, he draws on the latest research in cognitive science and developmental psychology to show how we invent our realities with our perceptual minds. He then provides clear, concrete tools for shifting our perceptions and reframing our responses. The result moves couples out of the fear and alienation of “your way or my way” and into a deep understanding of the other that allows for an “our way.” As Creighton shows, this way of being together, based on the reality of individuality rather than the illusion of sameness, sets the stage for long-term excitement, discovery, and fulfillment. About the author: In addition to working with couples, James L. Creighton, PhD, has conducted communication trainings, mediations, and conflict-resolution processes for universities, public schools, the Job Corps, Fortune 500 corporations, and government entities. He lives in Kihei, Hawaii.
