The Joy of Conflict: A Nonviolent Approach

It’s normal to feel a little awkward and uncomfortable around it, given a lot of toxic messages we’ve been taught about conflict. You might find yourself totally disinterested in engaging, or, in the other direction, very eager to take the moral high ground and engage in right vs wrong thinking. You might feel some shame that this is happening to you. You might even find that the minute you realize a conflict needs addressing, you’re too upset about the situation to approach it with the care you want. All of these tendencies are normal starting places, and if you prepare, relax, and focus on meeting everyone’s needs involved, conflict can be a great opportunity for bonding and growth.

Join Eva Hamer to practice some skills from Nonviolent Communication to help make your conflicts as healthy and productive as possible.
