Demon Dialogs: How They Sabotage Relationships

Demon Dialogs those internal, head-trash conversations that happen in our own minds are often the root of conflict in relationships. 🧠 Erin and Joshua break down the three types of demon dialogs that show up in relationships and how they create unnecessary conflict.

1️⃣ Find the Bad Guy: This dialog happens when you blame your partner for how you feel, pointing fingers instead of taking ownership. It’s a cause-and-effect scenario where your partner is blamed for the problem, and no one takes responsibility. This just leads to more defensiveness and no progress.

2️⃣ Protest Polka: This is a negative dance of conflict where one partner makes a bid for attention or connection, and the other partner withholds, leading to a cycle of frustration and unmet needs. It’s a back-and-forth dynamic of criticism and defensiveness that fuels more conflict.

Are you stuck in one of these demon dialogs in your relationship, or are you taking ownership and creating positive change? 💭
