“In healthy conflict, there is curiosity. We’re trying to get somewhere, we’re trying to solve something, we’re trying to get through it together. In high conflict situations, there is no motivation to understand the other person’s point of view.” – Terri Cole
Intro
Are there people in your life who are conflict connoisseurs? People who really love stirring the pot, who are addicted to drama?
In response to you being upset, these types of people might rile you up or suggest you should be angrier rather than talking you off a ledge.
I know many of you are not into stirring the pot but find yourselves with high conflict lovers in your life, which can be stressful. That’s why I’m talking about high conflict versus healthy conflict, how to identify high-conflict people and protect yourself from them, and steps for more constructive ways to manage conflict.
Highlights:
- 4:20 What is high conflict?
- 6:00 Looping to effectively communicate during high conflict conversations
- 8:00 High conflict comes with heros and villains
- 9:10 Handling high conflict individuals
- 13:00 Distinguishing between high conflict and healthy conflict
