So, I've been doing some reading. I read the 5LL, but need to do the quiz, & plan to do that tonight.
I also started reading the 7 Principles by Gottman, recommended by DB Coach - have just read the first couple of chapters, about what causes things to go wrong. That was depressing. Those 4 horsemen have been rife within our R for so long. Plus all of the signs. Jesus.
Flooding was a new concept to me, and yes, I can see how I suffer from that. My amygdala kicks into overdrive almost as soon as we start arguing about things, horrendously so.
Anyway, I'm now about to start the chapter on the 1st principle, so maybe that will cheer me up that things aren't doomed quite yet.
