S22: Emotional Alchemy: Turning Trauma into Connection | E1: The 1% Relationship Skill Challenge with Dr. Rivka Edery
In season 22 guest Dr. Rivka Edery shares her insights discussing the foundational relationship topic of Emotional Alchemy: Turning Trauma into Connection.
In this first episode of the season, Vince Vasquez and Dr. Rivka Edery discuss the “1% Relationship Skill Challenge,” where making small, manageable changes—like cutting down on gaming or adding a few deep breaths before a defensive outburst—can lead to big relationship payoffs. Dr. Edery explains how tuning into our inner child (even that grumpy 10-year-old) and sharing these insights with our partners can turn conflicts into connection. It’s all about baby steps that keep you out of the doghouse!
Over the six episodes in this season, we'll discuss the journey of turning emotional trauma into deeper connection, with Dr. Rivka Edery offering insights on everything from understanding your attachment style to embracing vulnerability. Topics include the impact of childhood trauma on adult relationships, practical tips for creating emotional safety, and how to use empathy to repair trust after mistakes. It's all about taking small, meaningful steps to build stronger, more connected relationships—without sacrificing your sense of self along the way.
