Conflict & Negotiation

Conflicts are at the core of all wounded relationships. Whether it’s marital discord, affairs, parenting, or even co-occurring disorders like Asperger’s conflict is central to relationship disconnect.

Integrative Dynamics

Integrative Dynamics goes beyond collaborative resolution and addresses emotions as well as identity. Integrating the rational, emotional, and identity elements of each person offers a much greater chance of success at resolving conflicts.

The Essential Principles

The essential principles of integrative dynamics drive Dr. Thomas’ work and should be part of your reconciliation and healing of wounded relationships:

  1. Reconciliation is a choice – no one can force it but it’s well worth the effort.
  2. Small changes can make a big difference – each fight you resolve in a productive manner has ripple effects not only in your relationship but in the world. This is the ripple effect of reconciliation. You are making the world a better place by reconciling your conflicts.
  3. Don’t wait – internal resistance is the greatest obstacle to peace. Ask yourself what can I do now to bring this conflict one step closer to resolution.

Invest in Your Relationship

When looking at investing in things that matter, ask yourself what’s more important than your intimate relationship?  Just like material things, we need to invest in ourselves and our relationships.  In the end these are the things that matter.
