Scenario

When couples inherit the same conflict avoidance patterns

My wife and I both grew up in families that handled conflict by shutting down completely and now when we fight we just disappear into separate rooms for days until someone apologizes without actually resolving anything. We keep saying we want to do it differently but we don't know how to stay present when things get heated.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people sharing the same defensive strategy cannot teach each other what they both need to learn.
