Today I'm talking with couples coach and therapist Morgan Birch about why most relationship conflict keeps repeating until we learn how to repair. We unpack her SEEN Method and Mirror Game so we can feel safer, stay curious and build connection without giving up our own perspective.

• why couples struggle less with fighting and more with repairing after a rupture
• how disconnection triggers protection behaviours that look like punishment
• the SEEN questions: scared, embarrassed, expectations, need
• understanding without agreement as the core of being seen
• how reflecting can “stump” gaslighting while keeping your boundaries clear
• the Mirror Game structure, plus why advice and fixing backfire
• practising repair skills outside your relationship to build reps
• reverse SEEN for hard talks and a mini parts-work step for self-soothing
• equal and opposite fears as the hidden driver of the same fight
• respect vs obedience and dominance vs connection at home and at work
• acceptance as the work of relationships, with boundaries as self-care

If this conversation encouraged you, would you do me a favor and share it with someone you love, your spouse, a friend, or another couple who could use a little hope today.
