Dreams Within Conflict & Accepting Influence

Webinar 3 of 4 in the Gottman Series

Ever feel like you and your partner keep having the same argument, no matter how many times you talk it through? Often the fight isn’t really about the budget, the in-laws, or the weekend plans. Underneath each position is a dream: a value, a need, or a piece of your story that hasn’t been heard yet.

In this pre-recorded webinar, you’ll learn how to find the dream underneath your recurring conflicts and how to let your partner’s perspective shape decisions, without losing your own voice. Based on Dr. John Gottman’s research, you’ll walk away with practical tools to turn gridlock into understanding.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to recognize the signs of gridlock in your relationship
  • What Gottman means by “dreams within conflict,” and how to uncover yours
  • How to use a simple speaker and listener practice to understand each other without arguing
  • How to map what you can’t give up and where you’re flexible, using the two circles
  • What accepting influence really means (and what it doesn’t)
  • Small, doable steps to practice this week
  •  

Includes:

  • 25 minute pre-recorded webinar you can watch on your own time
  • 5 downloadable tools:
    • Dreams Within Conflict Worksheet
    • Speaker and Listener Conversation Guide
    • Two Circles Worksheet
    • “Yes, And” 7-Day Practice Tracker
