Podcasts about relationship conflict

What if the patterns in your relationships are not just about communication, compatibility, or choosing the wrong person, but subconscious wounds your nervous system learned years ago? In this episode, Dr. Taz sits down with Thais Gibson, PhD, bestselling author, counselor, speaker, attachment theory expert, and founder of The Personal Development School, to explore how attachment styles, childhood conditioning, core wounds, subconscious programming, and nervous system regulation shape the way we love, fight, connect, and pull away.In this episode, Thais explains why the conscious mind often cannot overpower the subconscious mind, and why so many people keep repeating the same relationship patterns even when they know better. She breaks down the four attachment styles: secure, anxious, dismissive avoidant, and fearful avoidant, and explains how each style can show up in adult relationships, dating, marriage, family dynamics, conflict, ghosting, love bombing, emotional shutdown, clinginess, and the painful push-pull cycle.Dr. Taz and Thais discuss why affirmations may not be enough to heal deep core wounds, why the subconscious mind responds more to emotion and imagery than language, and how childhood experiences can become the lens through which we interpret adult relationships. Thais also shares a practical 21-day rewiring exercise using memory, emotion, visualization, and repetition to help shift core wounds like abandonment, betrayal, shame, unworthiness, and fear of being trapped.If you're listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don't know where to start,” join the Circle here:

How does gender affect workplace conflict? Task conflict – challenging ideas to find the best possible solutions – is essential for team innovation, but it carries hidden risks for women. While men are often rewarded with a boost in perceived agency for engaging in task conflict, women are frequently penalized for violating gender stereotypes. This subtle bias can lead to workplace distancing, lost opportunities, and long-term occupational segregation. Overcoming this barrier requires team members and leaders to think critically about their biases, audit their evaluations for gendered tone, and actively create conditions where everyone can safely discuss ideas. On this episode of Just One Q, Dominique chats with Dr. Samantha Hancock, an assistant professor at Western University whose research focuses on the challenges faced by women pursuing leadership. Together, they explore how gender bias penalizes women for the exact same assertive behaviors that benefit their male colleagues. Dr. Hancock shares actionable takeaways for individuals and leaders to recognize these micro-biases and build genuinely equitable teams.

Has physical intimacy in your relationship started to feel like a source of anxiety rather than connection? You are not alone. In this episode of the Communicate and Connect Podcast, I'm joined by physical therapist Eve Hall to discuss a topic that many couples struggle with in silence: Erectile Dysfunction (ED). We often see a pattern where a physical struggle leads to emotional withdrawal.

Relationships are both the greatest sources of happiness we can find in our lives, and the greatest sources of pain and suffering. Not only can relationships cause us tremendous heartache, but the lack or loss of them can be even more heart-wrenching.So what are we supposed to do? Live as hermits in solitude? Live as doormats to be taken advantage of? Live in constant conflict?

We can't control others, but if we follow these simple steps we can make a powerful change for ourselves and how we relate to others.*****If you ever feel like my words brought a change in your life, and want to show your SUPPORT for what I am doing, click here.

Dr. Ryan Seedall draws on his 20+ years of experience as a therapist to share insights about relationship conflict patterns and the role of attachment in marriage dynamics. He provides practical pointers to strengthen marriage connections, including how to navigate the demand-withdraw cycle and use anger productively.• Healthy marriages require not just absence of negative interactions but presence of positive ones• Couples need to recover from conflict, not just learn how to argue better• The demand-withdraw pattern creates a cycle where one person's behavior triggers the exact response they're trying to avoid• "Signal and respond" describes how partners communicate needs and respond to each other• Anger serves as a protest signal that something needs attention, not necessarily a destructive force• Technology creates new challenges for couples, with text arguments losing crucial nonverbal cues• Mixed-faith marriages require special navigation of differing beliefs and values• Early intervention is crucial - addressing small issues before they become entrenched patterns• Attunement to partner's emotional state builds trust and connection• Vulnerability, when met with responsiveness, creates deeper intimacyRemember, it's the small things that create a stronger marriage connection.

Today, we unpack the book "Think Again" by Adam Grant.In this book profile, we explore the transformative power of rethinking and why our ability to change our minds may be our most valuable skill in a rapidly changing world. Charles breaks down Grant's compelling case for intellectual humility and how clinging to outdated knowledge and beliefs can limit our potential. Through practical examples and research-backed insights, the episode reveals how leaders, innovators, and individuals can cultivate the habit of questioning what they know and embrace the uncomfortable but rewarding process of continuous learning.Key topics include:• The three mental modes that prevent rethinking - preacher, prosecutor, and politician - and why we should adopt the scientist mindset instead• How misplaced confidence and the Dunning-Kruger effect lead even intelligent people to overestimate their knowledge• The difference between harmful relationship conflict and productive task conflict in debates and disagreements• Techniques for changing minds effectively without triggering defensiveness or psychological reactance• Why stereotypes limit our thinking and how to break free from binary biases that oversimplify complex realitiesLearn from Charles's breakdown how to detach your identity from your opinions, escape the trap of certainty, and create learning cultures that value rethinking over being right.
