About this listen
In this episode, Kate and Eric tackle a listener's question about managing conflict styles in a marriage.
"I tend to shut down during conflict—I need time to think things through before I can respond. But my wife wants to talk things out right away and gets frustrated when I withdraw. We both end up feeling unheard and frustrated. How do we find a way to resolve conflict that works for both of us?"
Topics: ➡️ Different communication styles: Internal processors vs. immediate responders. ➡️ Resolution strategies: Writing thoughts post-conflict and scheduling discussion times. ➡️ Personal responsibility: Acknowledging one's impact on communication breakdowns. ➡️ Constructive engagement: Using "I statements," taking breaks, and reaffirming understanding.
