Arguments happen. Disconnection happens. Misunderstandings happen. The question isn't whether conflict will show up in our relationships - it's whether we know how to repair it.

In this first episode of SufferLess, licensed therapist Elijah Howard introduces The Big Five - five practical skills that help people move through conflict with greater understanding, honesty, flexibility, and connection.

You'll learn:

• Why conflict itself isn't the problem—failed repair is.

• The five skills that make healthy repair possible.

• Practical ways to strengthen your relationships, whether with a spouse, family member, friend, or coworker.

If you've ever walked away from a difficult conversation wishing it had gone differently, this episode will give you a practical framework you can begin using immediately.
