Parenting Conflicts with your Partner with Zach Brittle: Episode 206

In this episode of The Peaceful Parenting Podcast, I have a conversation with Zach Brittle, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and couple’s therapist certified in both Gottman Method Couple’s Therapy and Relational Life Therapy. We focus on the two big areas that partners struggle with: what do you do when you disagree about parenting, and what do you do when one parent is highly reactive.

We talk about:

• 8:00 Sorting through different levels of disagreements between partners
• 11:00 Start by finding what you agree about/values/parenting goals
• 18:00 Explaining “Relational Life Therapy”
• 21:00 How “repair” is the goal in peaceful families
• 27:00 How to go into triggering conversations with our partners
• 30:00 Take care of yourself, so you can show up for your partner and kids
• 31:00 When one parent is more reactive than the other
• 36:00 What do you do if your partner won’t change?
