Aware of the Mutually Reinforcing Trap
When conflict occurs, what is your conflict response style? PursuerWhen we…
- Feel anxious and insecure
- Eager to get closer
- Eager to talk things out
- Suffocated and seek distance from us.
When we…
- Flare up and argue
- “I am right, you are wrong”
- Try to change another side
- Humiliated and want to fight back.
When we…
- Don’t open up
- Seek emotional distance and physical space when stress is high
- Being rejected and desperate.
When we…
- Too quick to advise and help the other out
“I know what is best for you”
“My idea is better than yours”
- Lost of autonomy and want to resist or give up.
