  • S7 - Relationship Toolkit #13: Conflict
    Jan 22 2025

    Brian spent most of his life being 'conflict avoidant' at least that is how he understood it. Really the powerlessness and shame that underlied his codependency meant that any interpersonal conflict felt existentially threatening. In this episode we discuss how to approach conflict differently such that it functions as a tool for learning and connection rather than destruction.

Good insight but falls short

I was on board with most of the insights and stories. I could definitely give a much higher rating. However they got into some areas where they started talking about some things they had little knowledge or experience about with a condecending expert tone. Particularly 12 step. Should have just left it at "not for me". No need to down talk millions of people. The negatives you put forth represented that you didn't take the time to understand it at all.
