Often we want to run away and hide from what we perceive as conflict or want to fight it more, looking at the other person as the problem or them being what’s weighing us down. Meanwhile failing to see that our own reactions, feelings and responses has really nothing to do with them but is our own trauma response based on how we have learned to cope with but not actually resolved issues and conflicts. And how when making space to share and listen to each other, old wounds get an opportunity to be cleared and healed and the relationship itself becomes something that expands you as a person rather than limits you. Sometimes it’s easier said than done but the rewards are by faaaaar worth a try and doing it over and over again until it works.
