Conflict is a part of every close relationship, but it doesn’t have to create distance. This short therapist led course explores some of the visible and hidden reasons conflict arises, helping you understand what’s happening beneath the surface and build a stronger connection.
Understanding conflict in your relationship — a short course by Lindi Lawrenson, Psychotherapist
Every couple argues. But when the same fight keeps coming back - with the same words, the same hurt, the same unresolved feeling - it's usually a sign that something deeper is going on.
This course helps you understand what's really happening beneath the surface of conflict. Not to stop you disagreeing, but to help you do it differently.
Why our natural differences in personality, values, needs and life experiences can so easily lead to conflict.
How criticism, defensiveness, silence and other communication patterns can turn ordinary disagreements into damaging cycles.
Why seemingly small moments can trigger deep emotional wounds, and how these hidden hurts shape our reactions.
How seeing conflict differently can help transform moments of disconnection into opportunities for understanding and stronger relationships.
