Conflict Resolution Skills for Healthy Relationships

Generally speaking, we all experience some form of conflict. Whether at home, in the workplace, between friends, or even with your self. In relationships, conflict is the natural result of our different likes and dislikes, our particular sensitivities, our perceived slights, and our emotional wounds—in short, of our being two diverse people. All couples experience conflict, and accepting that conflict is a natural process is an important step toward creating intimacy.

Conflict resolution is a vital dynamic in the creation of lasting love. Until we learn this crucial skill, we will find ourselves caught up in the same negative exchanges time and again which is why I have provided this paper: 6 Steps to Conflict Resolution for you to download. Please feel free contact me with any questions or comments you may have or if you would like to schedule either a couples or individual therapy session with me.
