Learn how to support each other, to slow down, step back from conflict and regain a sense of calm and care in your communication. In order to begin changing relationship communication, it’s important to understand what happens during conflict from a physiological perspective. One of the things that we know from research, is that couples often go into a state of physiological arousal when in conflict.
