People with high conflict personalities have strong unconscious fears that are easily triggered: abandonment; humiliation, being dominated; ignored; and other major losses. When triggered, this is a greater concern with high conflict people than with the average person. 

In this episode, Bill and Megan discuss:

• the types of losses that can trigger high risk:
  • divorce
  • new relationship partner
  • job termination
  • eviction
  • neighbor dispute
  • other losses
• whether these are predictable 
• how to be aware
• how to protect yourself and handle:
  • divorce situations when delivering bad news or other big changes
  • workplace situations, especially when disciplining or terminating someone’s employment
  • neighborhood/homeowner’s or condo association meetings
