Embracing Conflict: Lynn Matti on the Hidden Costs of Avoidance

If you're avoiding conflict, you're avoiding what you need. All that, because of how the brain works, how you are wired, the more you avoid, the more you get feelings of relief from avoiding the conflict, which only works to reinforce your, let's say, addiction to avoiding conflict.
Have you ever wondered why avoiding conflict often leaves you feeling worse? In this thought-provoking episode, mental health therapist Lynn Matti dives deep into the impact of dodging difficult conversations. Drawing from her clinical experience, Lynn unpacks how sidestepping conflict can lead to personal neglect and poor communication in relationships. She highlights the importance of facing disagreements head-on, arguing that constructive conflict can actually strengthen bonds.
Lynn also explores how our inherited beliefs about confrontation shape our behavior, often leading us down a path of avoidance. But it's not all doom and gloom—she offers practical tips for cultivating assertiveness and setting healthy boundaries. From the power of 'I-statements' to understanding the roots of your conflict-avoidant tendencies, this episode is packed with actionable advice. Perfect for anyone looking to improve their mental wellness and relationship dynamics, Lynn's insights are both eye-opening and empowering.
Tune in for a fresh perspective on why embracing conflict might just be the key to personal growth.
