Dr. Emily Taylor helps Jeff address the challenge of balancing his high-conflict job with his personal life. Jobs that involve constant conflict navigation carry a unique risk: how you deal with disagreements at work can seep into how you handle things with your spouse or kids. In this coaching session, Dr. Emily coaches Jeff to identify his needs for achieving a balanced life and behaviors to help him establish and maintain better boundaries between work and home. Dr. Emily shares her own struggle to separate the conflict-rich nature of her own career from her personal interactions.

In this episode you’ll learn how to:

-  Look for boundaries you can put in place to help separate your work and home life.

- Create scaffolding around yourself to help you maintain the boundaries you're creating.

- Consider not only what you can cut out of your life, but also what you might want to add that will recalibrate the structure and meaning of what you're already doing.
