When high-conflict couples focus excessively on their partner's behavior, they stifle their own personal growth, which can worsen the relationship over time.
Accepting the reality of living in a high-conflict relationship is essential for initiating growth, as it allows couples to develop new tools for connection.
To break the cycle of repeated conflicts, couples must each focus on changing themselves, rather than solely attempting to change their partner.
Lowering emotional defenses and genuinely listening to a partner's frustrations can help shift the relationship dynamic towards understanding and resolution.
