Course overview
Lesson Overview

3.1 – Understanding the Root Cause of Conflict: Understanding the root cause of conflict means looking beneath the surface to see what truly drives disagreements. It involves recognizing unmet needs, miscommunications, or emotional wounds that fuel tension. Instead of reacting to words alone, this process uncovers hidden expectations and deeper fears that shape behavior. It challenges partners to ask what emotion sits beneath anger—whether it’s hurt, rejection, or fear of loss. By tracing patterns from repeated arguments, couples can identify themes that keep resurfacing. Understanding the root cause shifts focus from blame to clarity. It turns conflict into a tool for awareness rather than destruction. When couples see the real source, they gain control over their reactions and can repair connection from a place of empathy. True resolution begins when both understand why the fight started—not just how it looked.
