Stop talking at each other.
Conflict is a natural part of life. But how we approach it can ultimately make or break our relationships.
The key to successfully navigating disagreements isn't learning to "fight fair" or to focus on communication skills (although those things certainly help).
The best first step is to have a deep understanding of yourself and your partner. And that's exactly how Stay Close Through Conflict can help.

Stay Close Through Conflict is a guided, interactive workbook designed to help the two of you uncover your attachment styles—your default communication and behavior patterns.
Learning about your attachment styles can help you unpack your baggage, figure out how it's affecting your relationships, and understand how to avoid passing that baggage on to your kids.
✔︎ Resolve squabbles faster and with less drama
✔︎ Put an end to the same-old-same-old arguments
✔︎ Feel seen, understood, and supported by one another
✔︎ Uncover your own and each other's triggers and needs
✔︎ Stop feeling like roommates or ships passing in the night
Feel close again.
As a spouse and mom of two, I'm no stranger to conflict. And as a clinical psychologist, I hear all the time about arguments that end in bickering, stonewalling, and silent treatments.
In every case–in my own marriage or in my clients'—moving toward healthy conflict has meant taking a step back and asking one simple question: "Where is this really coming from?"
The truth is, the relationships we had with our primary caregivers in childhood play out in our relationships today. But when we become more mindful of their influence, we can overcome old behavior and communication patterns.
Stay Close Through Conflict will help you do just that.
Time for just the two of you.

...We found ourselves saying, 'sh*t I do that' and 'oh that makes so much sense!'
