Manage episode 451863384 series 2904741
#223: Dr. John Gottman describes four stages in the breakdown of a relationship: first defensiveness, then criticism, then stonewalling, and finally contempt.

We explain how it arises and how it relates to key concepts in our approach, like Reframing, Growth Mindset, and Threat Mode.
