Episode #400: Peaceful at Heart, Surrounded by Drama: Sandra Beck and Dr. Mark Borg on Navigating Conflict in Close Relationships

On Military Mom Talk Radio, Sandra Beck is joined by clinical psychologist and author Dr. Mark Borg for a powerful discussion about one of the most common—and most painful—relationship dynamics: being conflict-averse while deeply connected to people who seem to thrive on conflict and drama. Whether it’s a spouse, a parent, or a child, living with someone who constantly stirs the emotional pot can leave you feeling drained, anxious, and stuck. Dr. Borg offers actionable insight into how to maintain your own emotional peace without enabling toxic patterns or losing your sense of self. Sandra and Dr. Borg unpack the psychology behind conflict-seeking behavior, and offer practical tools for setting boundaries, staying grounded, and protecting your energy—while still showing up for the people you love. If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why do they always start something?” or “How do I keep my sanity when they won’t stop pushing my buttons?”—this episode is for you.Tune in to Motherhood Talk Radio on Audible, Amazon Music, Amazon Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Apple Podcasts, iTunes, Stitcher, Player FM, and Podcast Addict.
