Political differences can play a role in family estrangement. But simply having differences is not the whole problem.
How we communicate with family members who don't share our views affects our ability to connect with them in spite of those differences.
In this helpful episode, Tina shares an excerpt from her conversation with relationship expert Bill Eddy, author of Calming Upset People with EAR: How Statements Showing Empathy, Attention, and Respect Can Quickly Defuse a Conflict.
