Built to Break: Communication, Rupture & Repair in Hierarchical Relationships by Master Ray

The strongest dynamics bend, and sometimes they break. In this class, we explore how past relational trauma influences conflict, feedback, and emotional communication in authority-based relationships. You'll learn how to normalize rupture, anticipate it, and build tools for repair that deepen connection instead of eroding trust.We’ll unpack how past experiences shape our communication patterns, especially in relationships with intentional power imbalance. We’ll explore how trust is built or broken. You’ll learn how to recognize the deeper emotions underneath the conflict, and how to engage those moments with attunement and compassion, while staying true to our dynamics! Finally, we’ll look at how to apply these tools in real time, and how to engage in repair in ways that strengthen trust.
