None of us are exactly alike. Our histories, needs, feelings, beliefs and perceptions are different. The more time and space we share with another individual, the more individual differences we will inevitably confront. Conflict avoidance resulting from a dysfunctional or abusive history, fear of rejection, survival responses, and lack of problem-solving skills can and will destroy relationships over time. Healthy relationships are built on a foundation of love, truth, and acceptance that allows us to address conflict in a way that helps us to trust that the relationship can accommodate and grow from individual differences. In this podcast, Jamie talks with her colleague and fellow counselor, Mark Valley, to explore common barriers and faulty beliefs that block honest communications in relationship and offer positive tools and approaches that can help to resolve and grow from individual differences.
