As human beings with trauma and triggers, fighting is inevitable. But how you fight can be the difference between learning from a situation and just stirring up old wounds. In this short episode, I’ll teach you the art of setting conflict boundaries so you can fight fair, every time.
In this episode, you will hear:
Coaching Questions & Thoughts:
Have you ever set any conflict boundaries? If so, did you enforce them?
Is there a conflict boundary you often have trouble enforcing? Why?
When your conflicts go south, what happens? Do things get mean? Do you shut down? Get specific.
What is one or two conflict boundaries you’d like to set for future conflicts? What’s important to you when it comes to fighting fair?
Think about a recent conflict you had. How could the boundary you’ve chosen to set help resolve that situation?
