You're in the middle of an argument with your partner. Your heart is racing, things are escalating and you can feel it heading somewhere neither of you wants to go. In this episode of The Anger Secrets Podcast, anger expert Alastair Duhs introduces one of the most important relationship skills you've probably never been taught - relationship repair. In this solo episode, Alastair breaks down exactly what relationship repair is, why it matters and how to use it in the heat of the moment to stop conflict before it does lasting damage to your relationship. Key Takeaways: Relationship repair (a concept developed by Dr. John Gottman) is the ability to recognise when an argument is escalating and take steps to redirect it before real damage is done The first skill is awareness : tuning into your own physical and emotional signals before things spiral Reminding yourself that your relationship matters more than the argument is a mindset shift that changes everything Repair attempts - a soft tone, an I-statement, a request for a break, even humour or a touch - can turn a conflict around in seconds Accepting your partner's repair attempts is just as important as making your own The goal isn't to never disagree. It's to disagree in a way that doesn't damage what you've built together If conflict in your relationship keeps escalating further than it should, this episode gives you the tools to change that, starting with your very next argument.
