Dr. Emily Taylor helps with a conflict over shared space. We all fill different roles in our families – mother, father, sister, brother - but sometimes when we fall back into those roles, we can end up perpetuating patterns that don’t really serve us in conflict. In this coaching session, Dr. Emily helps Tyler identify the roles that are fueling a current conflict around responsibilities for maintaining shared living space. Together they discover that the problem Tyler has been focused on is actually a symptom of something else he can work on to create a lasting solution.

In this episode, you will learn how to:

- Proactively address friction in situations where conflict is inevitable.

- Identify the patterns and roles driving your response to a conflict.

- Recognize when to focus on the relationship, rather than the conflict itself.
