Description
Has your fairytale romance suddenly transformed into relationship chaos?
Are you bewildered with how the person of your dreams has morphed into someone you barely recognize—displaying hostile, unpredictable behavior that leaves you exhausted and confused?
If your relationship has deteriorated into one high-conflict scenario after another, and you're trying to decide whether you should dig deep and try to make it work or cut your losses and exit safely, this straight-talking book has the answers you need.
In Bait & Switch, relationship expert, Megan Hunter, provides an inside view of complicated relationship situations and offers practical strategies to help real couples deal with the behavior and ensuing conflict. Hunter explores the interactions, conscious and unconscious, that occur in a complicated relationship--both during the convincing "sales pitch" given before the partners commit to each other through marriage or moving in together and then immediately after, when the switch has been thrown and distressing behaviors are swiftly revealed--and recommends strategies for changing these dynamics.
In this first-of-its-kind book, Megan Hunter addresses the patterns and thoughts from both sides without placing blame or casting judgment. Based on hundreds of interviews with people in high-conflict relationships, seeing the destruction of families in her policy work in family law, and feedback from lawyers, psychologists, and mediators who work with these couples, it is an inside look at "his" thoughts and "her" thoughts, their unconscious interactions, and step-by-step staying strategies.
In this book, you will:
• learn about the brain science behind the behavior
• take tests to determine if you’re in a relationship with someone who has a “Complicated Operating System”
• establish a new threat-reduced environment
• understand your conflict style and contribution to the conflict
• develop new skills to help you minimize and contain conflict
