Conflict Resolution in Tulsa, OK
Moments of frustration or anger are common, whether they are with a family member, a friend or at your work place. There are healthy ways of managing disagreement or conflict where all can feel heard and new ways of seeing things can occur, along with potential solutions.
Conflict Comes in Many Forms
- Avoidance or Withdrawal: This is when a person avoids or withdraws when a problem occurs and chooses not to work through the situation openly. But the problem remains, just underground. Upset can increase as their situation does not get better or change.
- Letting Go of Our Needs to Please Another: Sometimes it is easier to let go of what we need to please a loved one or another person. We all have needs and it is possible to find ways where we can really explore the underneath of what is happening for each of us to come to a place where we both can feel good about how to work on the situation, where both can feel heard and respected.
- Attacking, Being Critical: Feeling attacked or being critized can lead to withdrawal, which will not lead to resolving conflict
- Abuse: This is very harmful to a relationship. Feeling safe is critical to a healthy connection.
Ultimately, understanding your wants and needs and your behavior patterns will establish internal insight. You will have a better understanding of not just yourself, but for others around you and how situations may or may not unfold. This knowledge will give you preliminary tools for conflict resolution.
