Relationship reset / Lissy Abrahams.

Recognising when conflict is a problem -- How childhood experiences wire us for couple relationships -- How our childhood influences our fight style -- How our ego trips us up -- Defence mechanisms -- The ego and our relationship -- The role of childhood trauma -- How childhood trauma plays out in our relationships -- How to stop the cycles of conflict.

Australian relationship therapist Lissy Abrahams has spent years exploring this question, both in her treatment room helping clients and through extensive research. She knows that long-term conflict leaves us drained, anxious and worried for the emotional wellbeing of our families, but says it is neither intractable nor inevitable. Conflict is caused by unconscious patterns of thinking and behaviour - unresolved feelings of fear, instability or pain - which can be consciously rewired for a healthier, happier relationship. Lissy has seen firsthand how even small changes can help people reduce conflict and reconnect with their partners, improving their quality of life.
