How to Repair Relationship Conflict: The Big Five
Arguments happen. Disconnection happens. Misunderstandings happen. The question isn't whether conflict will show up in our relationships - it's whether we know how to repair it. In this first episode of SufferLess, licensed therapist Elijah Howard introduces The Big Five - five practical skills that help people move through conflict with greater understanding, honesty, flexibility, and connection. You'll learn: • Why conflict itself isn't the problem—failed repair is. • The five skills that make healthy repair possible. • Practical ways to strengthen your relationships, whether with a spouse, family member, friend, or coworker. If you've ever walked away from a difficult conversation wishing it had gone differently, this episode will give you a practical framework you can begin using immediately.
