Stop Shutting Your Partner Down In Times Of Disagreement - by Mark Webb
Stop Shutting Your Partner Down In Times Of Disagreement - by Mark Webb: "Pushing the issue is like what happens when you squeeze an orange. Squeezing the orange forces the juice that is on the inside to pour out. The same type of thing occurs when you squeeze someone who is already full of hurt and anger. What is on the inside is going to come out and it most likely is going to be messy. So you are better off to wait to discuss hot topics until you are feeling connected to each other again.
Plugging back into your relationship is the goal. Wounded relationships can heal. Every time you and your partner work your way back to the baseline, the relationship grows stronger.
The couple comes to realize what is necessary to return to baseline and they set out to do it. After a while, it becomes a habit. Great partners remember this when they are hurt and frustrated."
