Love this!

You didn’t get here in spite of your past—you got here because of it. Every experience was a step on the sacred staircase of your becoming.

Love to teach the Gottman methods to my clients!

All relationships, even the most successful ones, have conflict. It is unavoidable. Fortunately, our research shows that it’s not the appearance of conflict, but rather how it’s managed that predicts the success or failure of a relationship. We say “manage” conflict rather than “resolve,” because relationship conflict is natural and has functional, positive aspects that provide opportunities for growth and understanding.
