Have you ever found yourself in a conflict and wondered why the other person acts the way they do? To you, their behavior just doesn’t make sense. You just don’t “get them.”  In these moments, it’s tough to communicate with other people. 

In this episode, we explore moments when our conflict styles are different from the people with whom we are communicating. We highlight extreme pairings when an accommodating style meets a competing style as well as when an avoiding style meets a collaborating style. 

Join TalkDoc, Meredith and Teighlor as we explore strategies for managing the differences we face when we are in conflicts in the relationships we wish to keep.
