Education
Welcome to episode 113 where we explore how our childhoods helped to shape our ability to negotiate or not, via how they managed conflict themselves, as well as how they tried to teach us to do so. In this episode we talk about how your family, your first friends and your community both taught you and modeled for you how to handle conflict, how to ask for what you needed, and how to problem-solve. Since families can struggle to have these skills much less pass them along, many adults have ongoing issues in their own relationships that they don’t know how to resolve. Key Elements: Explore how parents modeled, as well as taught you about expressing feelings, problem-solving and managing conflict. Talk about some of the common issues dysfunctional families deal with. Contrast this with healthier families and how they operate. “Not everything that is faced can be changed.
