Three Fights in One
Use this model as a journal format to write about the thoughts and feelings that come to you as you read and think about the ideas above.
There are actually 3 things going on for all fights, they are:
1.What you’re fighting about right now
2.The history of this conflict during the history of your relationship
3.About pain from both of your families of origin such as unmet needs in your childhood.
