On “Mental Breakthroughs,” host Jessica Reyes and guest Dr. Cortina Peters helps navigate the tricky dynamics of In-law relationships.
Understand the Root of Tension
In-law conflicts often stem from changing roles, loss of control, or simple misunderstanding. Being aware of the reason behind the friction can help you approach things with more empathy.
Cultural Differences Matter
Make an effort to learn about and appreciate your in-laws’ traditions. This respect goes a long way in building a strong foundation.
Boundaries are Key
Use “I” statements to communicate your needs clearly and assertively. This helps set healthy limits without placing blame or sparking defensiveness.
