Nurturing Genuine Connections and Respectful Relationships
Conflicts can be challenging, but they don’t have to define your connections—whether at home, work, or within a team. At Bedrock Therapies, we focus on empathy, assertiveness, respect, and setting healthy boundaries so everyone involved can first resolve their inner conflicts, then communicate more effectively with others. By nurturing equanimity—a balanced, compassionate mindset inspired by Buddhist principles—we create space for each person to feel truly heard and understood before moving to the art of compromise.
What Is Relationship Conflict Therapy?
Our approach draws from evidence-based practices, including insights from Dr. Richard Schwartz’s You Are the One You’ve Been Waiting For (promoting internal Self-leadership) and Dr. David Burns’s Feeling Good Together (introducing the Five Secrets of Communication). Rather than relying on logic alone or trying to “fix” each other, we begin by finding genuine connection. From there, we collaboratively work through disagreements, reaching compromises that honor everyone’s needs and values.
Whether you’re dealing with recurring arguments, miscommunication, or unresolved past issues, our therapy emphasizes:
Empathy: Listening to truly understand others’ experiences
Assertiveness: Expressing your own needs and feelings honestly
Respect: Upholding each person’s dignity and worth
Healthy Boundaries: Balancing individual needs with group or relational goals
