Jayson Gaddis - Turning Conflict Into Connection

Jayson Gaddis, relationship student & teacher and host of the Smart Couple Podcast, is on a mission to teach people the one class they didn’t get in school– "How to do Romantic Relationships.” That’s why he founded The Relationship School®. He was emotionally constipated for years before relationship failure forced him to turn his life over to learning about relationships. Now, he’s been married to his amazing wife since 2007 (after some brutal break ups) and has two beautiful kids. When he doesn’t live and breathe this stuff with his family, he pretty much gets his ass handed to him.

Jayson teaches individuals how to use conflict to create a more fulfilling and sustainable relationship. He teaches virtual relationship empowerment classes to students around the globe. Most importantly, Jayson teaches that hidden within any and all relationship pain are the seeds of you getting more empowered in your life and more connected to yourself.

Even though many of his school teachers said he sucked at writing, he writes anyway. His first book for the Smart Couple’s will be out November 2017. He has also written for The Good Men Project, Elephant Journal, Your Tango, The Jungle Of Life, Primer Magazine, Integral Life, and Recovering Yogi.

Some topics in this podcast:

- Conflict, how to lean into it and resolve it - How to transform conflict into intimacy - The relationship between judgement and accountability/ownership - Identifying the insecurity that is the root cause of conflict - The relationship between your nervous system and conflict - How to “do” romantic relationships - What is hidden and deeply embedded in your relationship pain - When to let go of a relationship and when to stay - 2 questions to identify your triggers & work through them
