Well-being Taskforce: Stop the Interrogation: How to Stop Arguing Ourselves Out of Good Relationships

Webinar
2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. ET
60-minute presentation
CLE: 1.00 Credit

Do you find yourself readily applying your legal training or courtroom skills when having a disagreement with a loved one or close relative? In the course of a heated argument, has a significant other ever told you to “stop the cross-examination”? Or do you ever just wonder if practicing law and staying in a long-term relationship just may be incompatible goals?

This brand new program, debuted by ReelTime Creative Learning Experiences especially for ABA Wellness Week, explores just a few of the tricky ways that “thinking like a lawyer” might be unhelpful–or even counterproductive–in some of our closest relationships.

Join our multi-disciplinary roundtable of relationship experts (including mental health professionals and at least one longsuffering non-lawyer spouse!) for a lively discussion centered around thought-provoking film clips depicting these challenges.

Participants in this webinar will be encouraged and equipped to:

Identify and address proactively the challenges that practicing law can present for maintaining a long-term romantic or other familial relationship;
Avoid becoming excessively defensive when confronted by a partner or family member over a disappointment or frustration;
Use non-threatening and less argumentative means of communicating desires, disagreements, and requests for change;
Find ways to invest in and cultivate relationships to infuse them with more compassion, joy, and understanding;
Navigate the challenges and demands of law practice with healthier boundaries, more respectful communication, and greater dignity for all involved.
