Well Sh*t. It really is that simple - Episode 187 - "How conflict avoidance often causes more conflict" is now LIVE!

Full Show notes: https://bit.ly/WellShitEpisodeGuide

When we avoid conflict we are actually avoiding communication and resolution which is ironically what is needed to avoid further conflict. Avoiding something that is present because it feels uncomfortable in the moment, especially in our close relationships, can make things significantly more uncomfortable in the future. More often than not we chose to wait and avoid conflict, hoping for little things to blow over and we are actually be setting ourselves up for a hurricane. Tune in to find out the impacts that conflict avoidance can be having on you, your relationships and those around you and how to begin to shift our conflict avoidant conditioning.
