It’s All Your Fault: High Conflict People

Can People with High Conflict Personalities Change?


Listen Later

As we know, change is hard for everyone, but if you’ve had a high conflict individual in your life, you know that change for them is seemingly impossible. Our minds tell us that they’re doing it on purpose or at least partially so; and that they can change if they’d just choose that route. But is that a reality? If we start with the premise that people with high conflict personalities don’t even know they have such a thing, why would change?

In this episode, Bill and Megan talk about:

  • whether people with high conflict personalities know they’re such
  • whether people with high conflict personalities can change
  • if change is possible:
    • what is the likelihood of change
    • what it takes to help them change, such as therapy, programs, those around them
  • how to approach someone with a high conflict personality HCP about their need for change and whether you should ever do that

NOTE: We are not diagnosing or labeling anyone and neither should anyone listening to this podcast. Instead, we focus on what to do to help.
