Fightin' Words: How can we level up the fighting style to make our relationships powerful cauldrons of growth and maturation?

In this episode we address fighting, a big topic as far as both listener questions and our couples therapy practices.  We discuss ways that we actually are in favor of fighting at times, and note that a fight with a healthy repair can create even more strength in a relationship than never having had any rupture (rip in the fabric of harmony and getting along) at all.  

As always we share some of our own stories to illustrate topics like:

- How fights with partners are uniquely positioned to illuminate our blind spots and give us a chance to fast-track our development

- Staying curious (what!?) about a partner's experience even and especially when they are upset at you

- Ways to deal with a partner that goes right to "Ugh I guess I'm just a piece of s#$t" when receiving any negative feedback

- Why you actually should sometimes go to bed angry
