🎧 Episode 25: High Conflict Couples, A Conversation with Nia Nimmers
📝 Episode Summary:
Interviews are back! Today is an exciting episode for another reason, too. Liz is joined by one of our very own here at Millennial Life Counseling, Nia Nimmers. They discuss high conflict couples in today’s episode, diving into what that type of relationship looks like, how it can be helped and changed, and what to do if you find yourself in one. This is one that dives deep and you don’t want to miss it!
💬 Episode Notes:
High conflict couples often experience frequent, trivial arguments that mask deeper issues.
Seeing a partner through only one lens limits empathy and understanding.
Small disagreements usually point to larger, unresolved emotional problems.
Couples often fight about what feels safe to express rather than what truly matters.
The “easy” beginning of a relationship often reflected effort and intentionality — not magic.
Breaking the high-conflict cycle begins with approaching conversations differently.
Shifting mindset and communication style can change the entire relationship dynamic.
Both partners must reflect individually: “What did I do to get us here, and what can I change?”
At the root of high conflict relationships is often deep, unacknowledged fear or insecurity.
