A lover’s guide to conflict resolution

Disagreement isn’t rejection. Create pause, de-escalate, and be quick (but sincere) with an apology.

I wrote another article for Channel Void, this one’s about resolving conflict in relationships and includes some practical tips on how to navigate arguments.

“Learning how to resolve conflict is crucial to healthy relationships but it can also be super challenging. When we argue with our loved ones – whether romantic or otherwise – it’s built on a foundation of emotions, so it doesn’t take much for things to escalate. And while there’s more trust, empathy and compassion than in a conflict with someone else, this can sometimes exacerbate tension and trigger defence mechanisms rather than de-escalate the conflict. The good news is, it doesn’t always have to go that way.“

Read the full article here and share it with anyone you think might enjoy reading it, especially young people.

Lifted from their about page, “Channel Void exists to challenge the abrasion of life as a thinking, feeling, sensual entity, by providing a universe of education, tools, art and entertainment, accessible to every level of awareness. We believe that being a young person in 2020 has left a void in heart, mind, body and soul. The nature of many lives today, lacking in ritual, intergenerational mentorship, storytelling and connection to earth, has bred disconnection and dissociation from self and others.”
