Too often, people focus only on the surface problem, not looking ‘beneath the hood’ to find the core issues involving their relationship.

Are you fighting with your partner/friend/mother/coworker and the cycle doesn’t seem to ever end?

HERE’S A LIST OF TIPS THAT COUPLES COUNSELOR ESTHER PEREL HAS CONSTRUCTED OF WHAT TO DO IN ORDER TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF ARGUING & GET INTO A STATE OF UNDERSTANDING:

• On a day to day basis, prioritize common ground.

• In the heat of the moment, take a break. Cool down on your own.

• When you’re ready to talk, prioritize curiosity and compassion.

• Ask questions, such as: how did you come to think this way?

• Listen for underlying fears: what is your loved one afraid to lose? Why is this personal for them?

• Share with them your own fears. Tell them how you came to think this way, what you are afraid to lose, and why this is personal for you.

• Ask each other: what does a just and safe world look like to you?

• Ask: can we disagree on this and still respect each other? Or do we need to take space?
