#261 Harnessing the Power of Conflict for Healthier Relationships
In this episode of Heal Your Heartbreak, we're exploring the concept of conflict resilience with experts Bob Bourdone and Dr. Joel Salinas. Bob, a negotiation and mediation expert, and Joelle, a neurology professor, have come together to discuss how embracing conflict, rather than avoiding it, can lead to stronger relationships. Their new book, Conflict Resilience, offers insights and practical steps on how to transform disagreements into opportunities for connection.
Join us as our guests share personal stories, like Joel's experience of coming out to conservative parents, and delve into the psychological barriers that prevent us from managing conflict effectively. We'll learn the importance of understanding our own feelings, approaching disagreements with curiosity, and developing resilience to navigate relationship challenges more authentically.
Whether you're dealing with a recent breakup or seeking to strengthen your current relationships, this episode provides valuable advice and insights. Tune in to challenge the norms around conflict and empower yourself to build more resilient connections. Don't forget to check out Bob and Joel's book for more in-depth guidance.
