Home is not where you live …

"Home is not where you live, but where they understand you” - Christian Norgenstern. (1817-1914). German Poet.

When you have a conflict and you don’t feel understood, how do you cope?

Instead of avoiding, controlling, or blaming, do this: Take deep breath. Identify your physical sensations. Feel your feet, be in your body and get grounded. Ask yourself, “How am I feeling?” Name it: Angry, hurt, sad, afraid. Take responsibility for your interpretations along with your feelings. Share that with your partner in an authentic manner.
