Understanding Blip Moments

Blip moments occur when small issues between partners escalate into larger conflicts, particularly during stressful times like the holiday season. These moments often stem from quick, seemingly unjustified reactions, which can escalate rapidly due to underlying emotional triggers. When partners fail to address minor grievances, these unresolved feelings can lead to a cycle of conflict that becomes increasingly difficult to break. Recognizing a blip as a simple irritant rather than a significant issue allows for more constructive communication and a smoother resolution process.
