Understand the mechanics of interpersonal rupture and repair — the developmental engine of relational trust. Learn Gottman's Four Horsemen, the repair sequence, NVC as a practical repair tool, and how developmental stage shapes conflict navigation.
Relationships are the primary arena where shadow is activated. This module explores relational shadow through AQAL's quadrant model — how what we cannot see in ourselves reliably appears in our partners, colleagues, and adversaries through projection and projective identification — and guides learners through Resentment Archaeology, the Idealization-Disappointment Cycle, Four Quadrant Conflict Mapping, and a shadow-informed relational repair conversation.
