@JudyNelsonLewis Good question, guessing you’re referring to their book, “The Seven Conflicts”?

[Samuel Rainey, LPC-MHSP 🌳 @SamuelRainey]

Working on a new content project. The Seven Conversations. Since I am a marriage therapist, I am primarily addressing it through this lens, but I think it fits in other relational contexts as well. Here is a brief look into the the why and for each conversation.

My hope is that this is a tool you can use with people important to you to improve your communication, connection, and reduce destructive conflict.

7. Celebrate, Grieve, Remind
CS Lewis says that if we cannot find our home, peace, and wholeness here on earth, perhaps we were not made for earth. Be quick to remind each other of this, to celebrate partnership, and grieve wounds together. No one escapes this life unscathed.

Nine years ago, sitting in a hotel room in Budapest, my girlfriend of just a couple weeks found out she was pregnant.

I was twenty-three and had just begun traveling the world. I hardly knew her and she hardly knew me.

@jasonkovacs As a therapist in Nashville, I see a lot of pastor burnout, and the downstream impact.

I think pastors need to work for 3 years, then take a year off and work a trade that requires time outdoors and sweat And has nothing to do with soul care for others.

@mattjenson @HootenWilson Ooooh, I like that idea.

"East of Eden" and pair that with "The Beast That Crouches at the Door" (Rabbi David Fohrman)
"11/22/63" (King's exploration of humans & the limitations of time)

If you have kids at home: The transition from work to home is the dress rehearsal, with walking into the house being showtime.

Finish your business work before you get home, even if that means you've got to drive around the neighborhood a few times.
