S3 E3: How to Handle Conflict in Friendships (Without Losing Each Other)
Conflict in friendships is inevitable, but it doesn’t have to be the end of the road. In this episode, we dive into the Gottmans’ “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” and how criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling can damage friendships. More importantly, we’ll explore how to break negative cycles, repair relationships, and communicate in a way that strengthens our friendships instead of tearing them down. Whether you tend to avoid conflict or tackle it head-on, we’ve got practical strategies to help you navigate tough conversations with care.
