Ep 61: Understanding Yourself & Your Partner Through Psychotherapy, with Alexia McLeod

Conflicts in our relationships - let's face it... they’re uncomfortable, and finding a resolution to issues in a way that makes everyone involved feel better might not always be the first option that comes to mind in the heat of the moment - BUT, we can train ourselves to think this way. Conflicts are a way to truly get to know and communicate with your partner.

HOWEVER, fighting isn’t all we’re talking about in today’s episode. Have you ever thought of the five most important qualities you value in a significant other (whether it’s someone you’re with now, or “Mr/ Mrs. Right” in the future)? What’s more, have you ever considered writing these qualities down on a piece of paper to keep them in your purse or wallet so you are reminded of them when you’re in that honeymoon stage of the relationship?

In this podcast we speak with Alexia McLeod, a licensed psychotherapist who helps clients gain healing from the past, provides motivation for the present, and offers the chance for restoration in the future. Alexia provides insight into how best to approach conflict, how to keep your mind - and in turn, the lines of communication - open, and how to prepare yourself for a better future when moving on from a broken relationship.
