Couple Counseling in Albany
It is normal for tensions to run high, even with those we love most, during a conflict. However, setting effective boundaries can help you prevent arguments from becoming nasty or poisoning the relationship.
Examples of phrases you could use to set boundaries during a disagreement include:
💙 "Can you express that without name-calling?"
💙 "If there is more yelling, I will need to walk away from this conversation."
💙 "I would prefer to talk about this when I can give it my full attention."
💙 "Let's take a break and come back when we both feel calmer."
Learning to set healthy boundaries and fight fairly takes time and practice. Couples therapy can offer you and your partner an outlet to explore boundary-setting in a safe environment.
