  • PODCAST NAME: New Mom Naturopath
  • EPISODE TITLE AND NUMBER: What can you Do to Avoid Conflict in Postpartum?; episode 29. 

 

In this episode, I discuss handling conflict during the postpartum period. In the sleepless nights and endless diaper changes, you will be exhausted. Communication between you and your partner will not be perfect. And the result of this will be conflict. Conflict is not the enemy. It is a chance to make your partnership stronger. I focus this episode on how I handle times of high conflict, even when you are overwhelmed by postpartum challenges. 

 

  • Recognize you are not going to be on the same page  [3:55] 

When you are getting frustrated with how things are going in postpartum, it is super essential for you to be able to recognize when you are not on the same page with your partner. If you cannot recognize the conflict, you cannot set apart time to repair moving forward. To avoid this, try to “over-communicate” or go behind what you think is self-explanatory.  As someone who will be entirely focused on your child, in the routine of eating, diapers, and naps, you will likely not realize you are being unclear to your partner. 

  • Know What Your Needs Are.  [6:30] 

There is no way to move forward in a conversation if you are unwilling to see your part in a conflict or lack communication. It is super important to recognize what you need. What routines and systems need to be in place so that you feel better? What does your partner need? How can you communicate with each other about changes to your needs? 

Mention: Gabby Bernstien. 

  • Tap out phrases: 10:30]

In a conversation, it is essential to have both people feel they have a voice. Each person needs to have time to finish their complete idea. After which, the other person needs to repeat back what they heard. This part is vital for clear communication. 

Mention: SYL podcast episode.
