We’ve been best friends for 22 years, and we still trigger each other’s abandonment wound when it comes to this topic. In this episode, we re-count our most recent blow-ups and discuss the multitude of creative ways we’ve learned to navigate conflict resolution, including Existential Kink, Non-Violent Communication, Circling, Radical Aliveness, and Ritual Theater to name a few.
