How To Argue Better with Allison Keating

The Mind Full Podcast

Show Notes

Ever wondered if the way you argue could predict the end of your relationship? This week I’m joined once again by the brilliant psychologist and author Allison Keating to talk about all things conflict. And trust me, this one’s a game-changer!

We dive into why couples fight, how different conflict styles can clash (or work), and whether arguing well is actually good for your relationship. Allison brings her signature warmth, wit, and razor-sharp insight to this week’s wonderful conversation about an, often tricky, topic.

You’ll learn how to spot warning signs, maybe even start arguing more healthily and much more!

This is the episode you’ll want to quietly text to your partner with a “thought you’d find this interesting…” message attached.
