The Wisdom Track Podcast #13 - Repairing Relationships and Rebuilding Trust

This month we’re talking about the skill of making up with with friends, lovers or colleagues after a falling out.

Psychotherapists call this ‘rupture and repair’. There is evidence to suggest that building up our talent to repair after ruptures is key to our overall sense of being able to cope with life’s struggles. It’s healthier to lean in to conflict and try to keep relationships alive while maintaining boundaries, compared to abandoning contact altogether.

But what if there are complications – like anger issues, historical hurt or gaslighting? Or maybe you’re experiencing what relationship expert Dr John Gottman calls ‘gridlock’ where there’s an unyielding impasse in communication and neither of you want to back down?

Moreover… when is it time to acknowledge that the relationship cannot continue? Join Mike, Snake and the team to find out.

The Wisdom Track is where The British Association of Anger Management (BAAM) takes a closer look at its core values of growing self-knowledge, honing emotional intelligence, and learning communication skills.
