Relational pain is an energy that wants to move. Instead of playing defense in romantic, family or work interactions to duck discomfort and grab pleasure for the short-term with more “stuff”—accolades, items, partners—psychologist and consultant Dr. Mitch Abblett helps us quit confusing control-based possessiveness with true life ownership. Learning to own these moments has us skillfully seeing instead of merely being the bad relationship habits our brain has on autopilot. Ownership puts us at the wheel of where our parenting, friendships, romantic partnerships, and work relationships might go, bridging divides, co-creating solutions, and deepening bonds. Prepare to enter a timeless machine with stories, perspective-prompting tools, and practices for ending bad habits of control-based possession between you and others in daily life. Mitch helps us become a true owner of moments of relationship and expect to see less conflict and distance and more meaningful connection with others
