“The reason most people suck at conflict and struggle and get divorced and separated and whatever, is because they have a very low threshold for discomfort around their own triggers and the other person’s triggers.” 

Learning to walk through life with other people is an art in itself because we inevitably trigger and activate each other! No wonder conflict creates havoc in our most important relationships. Everything from childhood triggers to the fear of rejection, the need to be right and battling egos, means it’s not unusual to be the cause of the pain your partner feels. 

Conflict is often the cause of the permanent breakdown of relationships. 

But what if conflict could provide a route for healing, deeper connection, and richer levels of self-awareness and expression of needs? 

“Conflict is the crux of any good, solid partnership or team.”
