Conflicts are unavoidable in any relationship. While we cannot avoid arguments and differences in opinion, we should be mindful of the way we communicate when we are going through a conflict. "It’s easy to use blame from a space of frustration and to say things we don’t mean (or that we do but it comes out through frustration and anger). This is where we can raise our defenses and not get across the deeper essence of what is going on. You want to create a space of trust and closeness," wrote Therapist Lalitaa Suglani.(Unsplash)
