Conflict is uncomfortable, especially when it's with someone we work with or care about or otherwise depend on. So unsurprisingly, many people go to great lengths to avoid conflict. But in this Emotional Push-Up, Dr. Emily and her guest and fellow podcast host Lindsey Metselaar, (We Met At Acme) agree that conflict is as important to a relationship as exercise is to a muscle and what actually matters is focusing on how you repair after a conflict arises. Tune in now to hear how to move past conflicts in a healthy way.
