What if conflict wasn’t that scary after all? What if you were not only unfazed by it—but deeply understood it. And what if you could easily recognize whether a conflict was healthy or unhealthy so you always knew how to respond?
Combining principles of psychology with powerful storytelling, Understand the Patterns of Conflict teaches you how to recognize the differences between healthy and unhealthy conflict and how to navigate it confidently and creatively in a way that not only honors you, but respects the person with whom you're in conflict—without getting caught in sacrifice, submission, or the fight.
IN THIS GUIDE, YOU'LL LEARN:
✔ PART 1: Join me for a dive into the psychology of needs, the whys and hows of action and reaction, and what really causes us to act outside of our best interests.
✔ PART 2: We'll dissect a real-life example of manipulation, and you'll see, step-by-step, the dynamics at play and how I navigated the inevitable conflict.
✔ PART 3: We'll dig into another situation of unhealthy conflict, but one with a positive spin. You'll learn about "positive manipulation" and why it sends us for a loop of self-doubt and second-guessing.
✔ PART 4: I share the practical techniques I use to create space and boundaries for myself when I find myself in an unhealthy situation or around uncomfortable people.
✔ PART 5: Closing thoughts and a huge thank you. 💕
WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT?
When we’re faced with an unhealthy conflict, there’s what’s going on on the surface and there’s what’s going on under the surface. It’s what’s going on under the surface that, more often than not, is controlling the subtle negotiation and outcome of the situation. It’s why we sometimes say “yes” when we want to say “no,” why we feel bad, wrong, or guilty to honor our needs, or why we default to the same old response when we actually want to change it.
In this guide, I take you below the surface so you can see the dynamics at play, which is essential if you want to honor who and how you are in any situation—regardless of the who, the how, or the why in front of you. It’s about building the strength of self-love, bringing your wants, needs, and actions into alignment so you can make choices that truly represent you.
At a time in the world when boundaries and sovereignty are getting pushed against, when agendas and manipulation seem to be reaching an all-time high, when people are hunkering down in echo chambers and "their sides," this information is not only helpful, it's essential.
And I can't wait to share it with you.
