Restorative Relationship Conversations
A Process To Heal Your Relationship Conflict
When conflict happens between individuals, it's vital for the health of the relationship that it gets acknowledged and worked through in order to prevent the accumulation of toxic emotions and resentment. Relationship ruptures, unresolved fights or even small misunderstandings can create disconnection, distrust and the loss of emotional safety. Unfortunately, many people struggle with how to move forward in the face of conflict because they simply don't know how to manage it successfully. When individuals feel stuck and incapable of resolving interpersonal conflict on their own, it's important they get support from a trained professional.

What are Restorative Relationship Conversations?
​
Restorative Relationship Conversations are guided conversations that address interpersonal conflict and transform it into deeper connection and intimacy. The process offers a safe container for managing difficult conversations where individuals can move beyond the challenging dynamics that keep them feeling stuck. The power of the RRC model lies in the structure it provides, giving people practical guidelines and a clear framework to follow as they work together to find solutions.
RRC is different from traditional talk therapy in that it focuses on the application of the practical skills and techniques used to transform conflict into greater clarity and understanding. It is a process-oriented modality, which means it can produce radical shifts in a relatively short amount of time. Restorative Relationship Conversations can be used to address either short or long-term conflicts and the majority of clients report being shocked by how quickly they experience positive results.
