Fight or Flight



Conflict of any kind is a challenge to every relationship.  Without mediation we are hard wired to fight or to flee–and neither of these instinctual responses is a healthy way to strengthen your bond with those you love.  There are ways to avoid the trap of responding by reflex, and keeping your emotions from overwhelming you or your partner.  Alvean and Doug talk about how to practice the skills you’ll need to find your way through those tough moments keeping you both on the same page, working together, and not at cross purposes.  Learning to do this will result in a bond so strong it can withstand almost any challenge you will face together.  You can find a full transcript of this episode here: LL42-Fight or Flight
