In this episode of Bitch Is a Bad Word, we’re breaking down reactive abuse, toxic conflict cycles, and how to handle high-conflict personalities with one of the world’s top experts: Bill Eddy.


Bill is a lawyer, therapist, and co-founder of the High Conflict Institute, with decades of experience helping people navigate manipulation, emotional abuse, and high-conflict legal disputes.

  • How to identify and manage high-conflict personalities
  • Strategies to protect yourself from manipulation, blame-shifting, and legal warfare
  • Tools for conflict resolution that support your emotional safety and mental health
