We often avoid difficult conversations, but addressing conflicts directly leads to stronger relationships rather than allowing resentment to build and potentially emerge "sideways." Understanding that all relationships cycle through harmony, disharmony, and repair helps us recognize conflicts as opportunities for growth.
• Lead with curiosity, not accusation: examine your triggers, consider others' intentions, and share your experience without blame
• Say what you mean without being mean: describe situations objectively, own your interpretations, and express feelings clearly
• Listen to understand the other person's reality: open your heart to their experience instead of listening defensively
• The repair process is where trust forms and relationships become stronger and more resilient
• Having difficult conversations builds relationship "muscles" through temporary vulnerability that leads to greater strength
