How Parenting and Adult Relationships Can Benefit from the Power of Discord with Dr. Ed Tronick and Dr. Claudia Gold

In this episode, I have the pleasure and opportunity to talk with developmental neuroscientist and clinical psychologist Dr. Ed Tronick and pediatrician of Early Childhood Mental Health Dr. Claudia Gold about their book "The Power of Discord: Why the Ups and Downs of Relationships are the Secret to Building Intimacy, Resilience, and Trust". The authors discuss how discord in terms of mismatch and repair can be beneficial for parenting as well as for adult relationships. We talk about individual and cultural differences in terms of parenting styles in addition to the insights provided to us via influential studies like the Still Face Experiment. Moreover, we discuss how unmanifested anxieties can drive relationships and the importance of recognizing them in order to foster and develop healthy connections between oneself and others.
