Acknowledging and managing the instinct for control is important in relationships. Instead of allowing fights to escalate into unrelated issues, setting boundaries and controlling discussions together can foster better connection. This strategy helps to prevent toxic behaviors like kitchen sinking, where a small argument spirals into many unresolved issues. By working together to control the environment of discussions, even when disagreeing, a stronger connection can be achieved. This approach is commonly learned in therapy but is crucial for fostering healthy relationships.
