Episode #38 - The Rupture & Repair Cycle (Part 1)
In any relationship, misunderstandings, hurt feelings, or disagreements happen which lead to a "rupture" in the connection. The ability to recognize and respond to this rupture is the key to maintaining a non-anxious presence in our homes. In this episode, Andie introduces us to the seven steps of this cycle and gives a high-level overview that she will build upon in this four-part series as we apply the rupture and repair cycle in our relationships with our children, spouses, extended family, and friends.
Here is the diagram that is referred to in this episode. We encourage you to screenshot it and save it to your phone. You can also print it and hang it in places in your home where you may need the reminder when a rupture occurs.
