Why Conflict Can Feel So Intimidating and How To Move Through It

Why is conflict so scary? Why don’t we know how to argue, and does it ever get easier? Amy Rumbolt is back again for Part 2 of our kitchen table talks.

In this episode, we talk about:

If conflict always looks like fighting

Taking care of ourselves during “those discussions”

Nervous system regulation

Tension vs conflict

How conflict can deepen and strengthen relationships

Amy’s desire to get as close to conflict as possible

With her extensive background in Conflict Resolution, Amy’s perspective on this topic is not about how to win, but about being in true dialogue with others while staying curious - and how to do that!
