Conflicts. They are the inevitable speed bumps on the journey of every relationship. 

How we navigate these conflicts can either strengthen the bond or slowly erode it until it frays completely. Do we shut down or lash out? People please until we're a hollowed version of ourselves? Or do we learn to embrace conflict as an opportunity for growth and understanding?

Welcome to another insightful episode of the Therapy Room podcast, where we delve into the complexities of the human mind and relationships. 

Host Smitha Murthy sits down with therapist Siddhida Kabara, the CEO and Founder of Dhairya Da for an intimate conversation on navigating conflicts in relationships. From romantic partnerships to familial bonds and friendships, conflicts are an inevitable part of human connection. However, it's how we manage these conflicts that truly determines the health and longevity of our relationships.
