Navigating difficult conversations about politics can cause strain on our relationships, particularly when we hold different ideologies from someone we care about in our lives. Tania Israel, a counseling psychology professor and author of Beyond Your Bubble: How to Connect Across the Political Divide, shares approaches that can help us engage in dialogue about political differences. Israel’s work highlights how dialogues can be highly productive when we approach the conversation with goals of increasing understanding and building connection.
