Mastering High Conflict Relationships: Tips and Strategies

High conflict relationships come in all shapes and sizes. Many of them involve a divorce, either a divorce that’s underway or one that you’ve recently gone through.
High conflict relationships can feel like a whirlwind, especially when they involve divorce or dealing with someone with a personality disorder. In this episode of 'The Relationship Recovery Podcast', hosts Kierstyn and Tiffany dive into actionable strategies to help you manage these tough situations. They share insights on minimizing contact and avoiding face-to-face meetings, suggesting written communication as a safer alternative. This can help keep emotions in check and provide a clear record for any legal matters.
One standout tactic they discuss is the gray rock method—acting neutral and unresponsive to avoid fueling the high-conflict person's drama. Another crucial point is setting firm boundaries. The hosts offer practical advice on how to establish and maintain these limits, like identifying off-limits topics and staying consistent. They also emphasize the importance of journaling your plan to handle the relationship, which can empower you to make better decisions and foster healthier interactions.
Kierstyn and Tiffany remind listeners that while setting boundaries might be daunting initially, it can significantly reduce fear over time. If you're grappling with a high-conflict relationship, this episode is packed with tools to help you regain control and create a more peaceful life.
