In this episode of The Peaceful Parenting Podcast, I have a conversation with Zach Brittle, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and couple’s therapist certified in both Gottman Method Couple’s Therapy and Relational Life Therapy.
We focus on the two big areas that partners struggle with: what do you do when you disagree about parenting, and what do you do when one parent is highly reactive.
We talk about:
8:00 Sorting through different levels of disagreements between partners
11:00 Start by finding what you agree about/values/parenting goals
18:00 Explaining “Relational Life Therapy”
21:00 How “repair” is the goal in peaceful families
27:00 How to go into triggering conversations with our partners
30:00 Take care of yourself, so you can show up for your partner and kids
31:00 When one parent is more reactive than the other
36:00 What do you do if your partner won’t change?
