Whenever we have a disagreement in a relationship, we want to “resolve it right away.”

This is because in our society, we love immediate gratification.

What we really want is “lip service” a lot of the time- someone to tell us “all is OK” so we can move along.

In this episode I break down some facets of interpersonal communication, and place arguments into two groups:

1. “One-Offs”

2. “Repetitive Cycles.”

If an argument is part of a “repetitive cycle,” unfortunately, the lip service (and subsequent reinforcement) isn’t going to solve the issue.

ALSO- I did address “the slap heard ‘round the world,” because I’m just THAT timely. :: bows ::
