Exploring the Underlying Motivations in High-Conflict Couples

In high-conflict couples, understanding the root of their disputes is crucial. Rather than focusing solely on the arguments themselves, it is essential to delve into what each partner is truly fighting for and what they seek to protect. Individuals often express feelings of loss and disappointment regarding their partner's perceived changes in behavior. One partner may feel abandoned and view the other as emotionally absent, while the other may feel overwhelmed and interpret their partner's actions as erratic. This shift in perception, where partners begin to see each other as threats, can exacerbate conflicts and signifies deeper emotional vulnerabilities at play.
