ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Do you ever feel like you're having the same argument over and over again?
Maybe it's about chores, parenting, money, intimacy, or feeling unheard. The topic changes, but the fight always seems to end the same way.
In this episode of Shrinks on Tap, clinical psychologists Dr. Lauren Fisher and Dr. Eleni Boosalis explore why couples get stuck in repetitive conflict patterns and what those arguments are often really about.
You'll learn:
- Why recurring arguments aren't usually about the issue you're fighting over.
- The communication patterns that keep couples stuck.
- How unmet needs fuel the same conflict again and again.
- Practical ways to communicate more effectively without escalating the conversation.
Whether you're dating, married, or simply want healthier relationships, this episode offers practical insights to help you break the cycle and start having conversations that actually move you forward.
