Most people never consider that fighting can be a useful and healthy practice for our relationships — and that “fighting well” is a skill that can be learned. We resist conflict until it builds up and we reach a breaking point, and then BAM! Our trauma runs the show and we risk re-traumatizing ourselves and others. In this episode, Joe and Brett talk about how to fight well. They explore how: • Healthy fighting can actually lead to healing, growth, and deeper connection• The importance of speaking your truth• What to NOT do during fights• The empowerment of a good fight• When to walk away (and how)• When a fight is no longer worth fighting Chapters00:00 - Introduction to Relationships and Fighting03:00 - The Journey of Fighting Well05:51 - Understanding Healthy Conflict09:02 - Navigating Trauma in Relationships12:03 - The Role of Window of Tolerance14:57 - The Dynamics of Emotional and Logical Partners17:53 - The Importance of Speaking Your Truth20:54 - Recognizing Apathy in Relationships24:01 - The Gift of Conflict in Relationships27:02 - The Nature of Truth in Perspectives29:52 - Final Thoughts on Fighting and Love Send us your questions on Twitter, through our website, or in our Circle community!
