If there is anyone in the world who can understand that the people you adore can also drive you crazy, it’s us! Sometimes you struggle to get your needs met, or to meet those of a loved one. Resolving conflict and connecting with someone vastly different from you can be a real challenge. We built this course from what we’ve learned in our own family (and other relationships) about how to understand one another's personalities, to find personalized ways to connect, and specific tools to resolve contention. This course is designed to unlock the secrets you need to thrive in all relationships.
Have you ever experienced the disheartening sensation of your needs not being fully grasped by a loved one? It's as if you're both speaking different languages, leading to a profound sense of misunderstanding and loneliness even in the presence of others. Despite your sincere efforts to bridge the gap, there persists a disconnect when attempting to comprehend the feelings and experiences of those you hold dear.
Navigating the intricacies of family, work, and romantic relationships exposes you to a mosaic of unique personalities. The challenge lies in the inherent diversity among individuals, making it difficult to fully grasp alternative perspectives while perceiving the world through the lens of your own particular personality. Despite the potential frustrations arising from these differences, it's crucial to recognize their importance.
Each personality type has evolved to address distinct challenges, forming the foundation for human cooperation in societies. As we collectively tackle a myriad of problems, the richness of diverse personalities contributes to the collaborative tapestry of social life. This transformative journey invites you to delve into a profound understanding of yourself and others, fostering enhanced cooperation and the ability to truly support and encourage those you care about. Instead of resigning to the notion of irreconcilable differences, this course empowers you to bridge gaps and foster deeper connections.
At Mended Light, our journey began much like yours—filled with the highs and lows of navigating relationships. We realized early on that while love and admiration bound us, understanding each other's unique personalities was the key to overcoming our differences.
Growing up in a household where communication often felt like deciphering a foreign language, we experienced firsthand the frustration of feeling misunderstood by those closest to us. However, it was through these challenges that we discovered the power of empathy, patience, and a willingness to learn from each other.
Our family's experiences became the foundation upon which we built Mended Light. We wanted to create a space where others could benefit from the lessons we've learned—where understanding and connection prevail over discord and misunderstanding.
In relationships, miscommunication can often lead to feelings of frustration and isolation. Understanding the root causes of miscommunication is essential for fostering healthier connections with others.
Communication barriers can stem from various sources, including differences in communication styles, cultural backgrounds, or emotional triggers. Recognizing these barriers is the first step toward addressing them effectively.
Emotional intelligence plays a crucial role in effective communication. Explore how self-awareness and empathy can help individuals navigate difficult conversations and understand others' perspectives more deeply.
Active listening involves more than just hearing words—it requires full engagement with the speaker and a genuine effort to understand their thoughts and feelings. Strategies for improving active listening skills, such as paraphrasing and asking clarifying questions, can significantly enhance communication and reduce misunderstandings.

In this course you will learn how to apply your strengths for the good of our relationships and your life. You will also learn how to connect on a deeper level with those who are radically different from you.
Embark on a journey of self-discovery and understanding others on a deeper level.
No one type is superior to another. All are gifted and capable. All can be intelligent,
accomplished, determined, compassionate, and fun-loving. The key difference between the personality types is what motivates them.
Dreamers connect to the world through other people. Their primary needs are to connect socially, to have fun, and to innovate with new ideas.
Healers connect to the world emotionally. Their primary need is to meet the needs of others. Their sense of self-worth comes from this.
Closers connect to the world through tasks and results. Their primary need is to accomplish their goals, to be reliable, and to be depended on.
Thinkers connect to the world intellectually. Their primary needs are to be respected, to do things the very best that they can, and to understand how things work.
When resolving conflict with another person, being in tune with their personality type can help you to understand what they value and, by extension, why they act, think, and speak
the way that they do.
While it’s good to be well liked, to care about our loved ones, to accomplish goals
and be well informed and respected, those things do not define you or determine
your worth.
Oftentimes the things we love about a person are the same things that drive us crazy. It’s
all personality. Understanding what other people value helps you to connect, to understand, and to resolve
conflict.

I love that Mended Light serves as a way to work on mental health at my own pace, in a way I can better afford to heal when I cannot afford weekly therapy sessions. I feel heard without the pressure to actually speak, and I feel welcomed when I do interact with everyone. If you’re on the fence about therapy but enjoy the free content, I definitely recommend giving the membership site a try.
