The Changing Perspectives Podcast

In this classic episode, we complete the "Your Last Argument" questionnaire from The Gottman Institute.  Using the questionnaire as a tool, we explore the feelings we each experienced during the disagreement, the factors that led us to approach the argument in that manner, deep rooted issues behind the argument, and what steps we each can take to avoid such conflict in the future. Join us as we get real with each other (and with you!) and learn how to maybe stop an argument before it happens.Links Mentioned In This Week's EpisodeThe Gottman InstituteSeven Principles For Making Marriage WorkJenni's Understanding Your Grief SeriesThe Changing Perspectives Podcast Patreon Community
