Ever found yourself dreading conflict, especially after experiencing emotional abuse? In this episode of The Emotional Abuse Recovery Podcast, host Allison K. Dagney dives deep into the complexities of dealing with conflict as an abuse survivor. Allison, a best-selling author and certified Rapid Reprogramming™ coach, shares her own journey of overcoming more than 20 years of emotional abuse and how she learned to handle conflict in healthier ways.
Allison breaks down how our minds try to protect us after trauma, often leading us to avoid conflict at all costs. She explains that this avoidance is a survival mechanism rooted in our subconscious beliefs. If you grew up in an environment where conflict was synonymous with negativity or abuse, it's natural to want to steer clear of it. But avoiding conflict can leave you tiptoeing around others and feeling powerless.
The episode offers practical tips and strategies to help survivors see conflict as an opportunity rather than a threat. Allison encourages listeners to challenge their deep-seated beliefs about conflict by writing down what conflict means to them and exploring how these beliefs might be holding them back. She also discusses the importance of re-framing the word 'conflict' itself—sometimes just changing the terminology can make a big difference.
One key takeaway is the idea that conflict can lead to better understanding and problem-solving. Allison shares personal anecdotes about how addressing conflict has sometimes resulted in stronger relationships and more effective solutions. She urges survivors to ask themselves when conflict has actually benefited them in the past and to consider the possibility that it might not always be a bad thing.
By the end of the episode, you'll feel more equipped to face conflict head-on, armed with the knowledge that it doesn't have to be a negative experience. So why not take a step towards reclaiming your power and tune in? After all, handling conflict is a skill that can transform your relationships and your life.
