One of you may push for a conversation while the other pulls back. Or a small disagreement may quickly turn into a familiar argument. We look at what happens between you and what each person is trying to communicate.

Understand the pattern beneath the disagreement
The focus can include defensiveness, interruptions, shutting down, difficult topics and attempts to reconnect that miss the mark. We slow the conversation down and practise clearer ways to express concerns, listen and respond.
