'I wish I had spoken up sooner.' It's a common myth that couples enter counselling fighting like cats and dogs. In truth, says licensed marriage and family therapist Colette Fehr, her office is usually far quieter. It isn't fighting but, rather, conflict avoidance that causes the deepest ruptures in romantic relationships. But most couples don't see the problem until it's (almost) too late. Avoidant behaviour - the need to 'keep the peace' rather than dealing with conflict head on - is a silent relationship killer. And it isn't our fault: our ingrained attachment wiring urges us to sidestep day-to-day disputes and brush lingering problems under the rug. But staying silent is a losing proposition in the long term. In 'The Cost of Quiet', Colette Fehr shines a light on the epidemic of avoidant attachment and shows us how to break the cycle once and for all.
