Description

Even though most relational conflict is perpetual (69% according to Gottman’s research). There are times when problems can be solved and you can move on.

In this episode of Keep Talking Revolution, Josh Greep joins me to talk about recognizing solvable conflict and some tools to use for effective problem-solving.

The skills that work are:

1. A softened startup – complain but don’t blame
2. Making and receiving repair attempts – quickly get the conversation back on track
3. Soothing yourself and each other – recognize and respond when flooding happens
4. Compromising – yield without giving up your core needs
5. Processing grievances so they don’t linger – fight fair & seek understanding
