Have you ever reflected on an argument you had with your partner and just thought, “We do not get each other”? Or maybe you find yourself wondering, “Why does this matter so much to them? Why can’t they see it from my perspective?” Or even, “Why does this matter so much to me?”

The latest release from the Gottman Relationship Coach, Dealing with Conflict, is here to help you uncover the answers to those questions and more.

Every individual is unique, which means every relationship is an equally singular combination of dreams, opinions, viewpoints, and proclivities. Dive deep into the inner world of your relationship and gain an understanding of each other to ease communication and conflict—only on our new Gottman Connect platform.

When you acknowledge and openly discuss positive aspects of your partner and your marriage, your bond is strengthened. We know that the more we focus on the positive and what we are thankful for, the more we feel positive and thankful. The more we focus on negativity and disappointment, the more negative we will feel. This is basically that same principle applied. If we can shift our mindsets to focus more on what we appreciate about our partner we will begin to notice more things we appreciate about them, building our positive perspective and strengthening our bond.

Motherhood fundamentally changes your sense of who you are. This can sometimes be really difficult to navigate, and many moms feel lost. If you are needing support in rediscovering yourself, reach out to a therapist that specializes in working with moms. There are also some great resources out there that you may also find helpful. PSI and PSSS have support people and many resources. This goes for dads too!

Despite what we have been taught about "sticks and stones," words ARE powerful and can cause a lot of harm. When we learn how to work through our anger in healthy ways, we can be in a position to communicate what we are angry about in healthy ways.

Do you cherish your partner? “Cherishing is a habit of mind in which, when you are separated during the course of the day, you maximize thoughts of your partner’s positive qualities and minimize thoughts of negative ones.” - John Gottman

When we do this, we can foster gratitude for who they are instead of resentment for who they are not.

When couples are experiencing Negative Sentiment Override, they're likely to view their interactions through a negative filter. This is because negative interactions have accumulated over time, leading partners to feel unimportant, unwanted, or uncared for.

I do a lot of identity work with clients and this is exactly why. The more solid we are in knowing who we are, the more sure we are when making decisions in our lives.
