Let's Talk Untangling Conflict
Manage episode 335545682 series 3375262
As an emotional and spiritual health coach, my passion is to help people unlock their feel good. Feel good isn't "happy all the time", utopia; instead, I create opportunities for you to find out what your unique "feel good" blueprint is and strategically work toward integrating it into your life. Life is GOING to happen--I can help you be ready for it without losing your feel good. In this episode, I take on CONFLICT--specifically UNTANGLING ourselves from it. Here's some key takeaways:
1. Conflict is. It is part of all relationships. At some point, we will experience disagreement with those we love. And we can get stuck and tangled up in the pain of conflict.
2. Humans are wired for connection. We long for and desire connection, but our earliest relationships with our caretakers (parents, guardians, etc) inform how we show up in our relationships. We learn early on that relationships can hurt (experiencing disconnection), so we adapt behaviorally(coping mechanisms) to STOP THE PAIN
3. We can re-learn new ways of being to understand that conflict isn't wrong or bad--it's often how we "do" conflict that impacts our relationships the most & how we approach our emotional pain. Once we understand the how we do conflict, it will help us self-regulate when conflict happens with those we love the most.
Bottom line is this: Conflict is. What matters is getting to the root of how we "do" conflict to transform it. When tough days hit, it's 100% necessary to have a map out of the wilderness of our emotional pain. When we practice, we get better at accepting our emotions as they are which enables us to demystify what's impacting our "feel good".

2. Writing Prompts Help Us Access Our Emotions: Ever heard someone say, "I can't find the words." It's 100% true! In highly charted situations, the "words" part of our brains freezes up. That's why I provide writing prompts to help access the words.
