How to Disagree (Without Damaging the Relationship)

Have your therapist ever told you to “sit with your emotion?” This is what it means:
1. Feel it, don’t avoid it-what is the emotion telling you.
2. Emotions aren’t “good or bad” they are indicators of what’s going on inside you.
3. Slow down enough to process what’s happening inside you.
4. Pay attention to where inside you are feeling the emotion-give some love to that place.
5. Journal what’s going on and BREATHE!

“Sit with it” means feel the emotion, don’t avoid it. It can be difficult to feel it, many people try and numb it. Feeling it helps you stay aware and present. I love to tell clients to write it out. Whatever you’re feeling, get it out on paper. Sometimes, writing it helps you to process it better.

One reason God said not to despise small beginnings is HE is using that time to build you and grow you so you’re ready for BIG.

Small beginnings is an indication that you have FAITH and that’s how GOD operates.

Learn ALL you can while small bc you won’t be there long!

For my Couples especially but all of us in relationship with one another can benefit from this:

How to disagree effectively:

Learn how not to fight (A fight is a physical or verbal struggle or conflict between individuals or groups, often involving aggression or force) BUT how to argue (using logic and critical thinking, specifically using a structured set of ideas meant to persuade or prove something)-Dictionary.com

Arguing — when done effectively and with all parties in mind— is often healthier and more successful than outright fighting. (Psychology Today)

Arguing most often, is well thought out prior to bein said which allows for a better outcome.

Arguing tends to:

🧠 1. Foster Understanding & Deeper Connect

💪 2. Strengthen Relationships & Builds Trust

🤝 3. Encourage Growth & Assertiveness

🛑 4. Reduce Risk of Resentment & Disengagement

Many people are fearful of conflict but all conflict is not bad. Arguing, when thought through tends to produce bonding results.

Arguing (healthy conflict) typically includes:
• Clear communication (“I” statements, active listening)
• Respectful tone and boundaries
• Focus on issues, not personal attacks or old wounds

On the other hand…

Fighting (destructive conflict) features:
• Criticism, contempt, defensiveness, stonewalling — Gottman’s “Four Horsemen,” which predict relational harm-Glamour.com “All Couples Fight: 11 Therapist-Approved Tips to Argue Fairly”
