Caller Questions & Discussion:

1. Dr. Jim discusses relationships that derail because of conflict. The conflict dance starts with tension, and can spiral downward with defensiveness, or it can be positive by going to “we” and leading to connection.
2. Do you think it would be helpful if callers asking for advice would start with repentance?
3. My brother is a bully and I set boundaries at a family gathering. How long do I wait for him to respond so we can have a better relationship?
4. My husband is my 22-year-old son’s stepdad. How can I help heal their relationship after my husband made remarks that hurt my son?
5. How do I handle a conversation with my alcoholic sister who says she is sober, but she sounds drunk and talking cuckoo?
