In Episode 26, Meredith describes the concept of Conflict Alchemy. Most people are raised to believe that our options in a conflict situation are to prove that we are right, avoid conflict, defend ourselves, explain our intentions, or bully people into siding with us. While explaining ourselves and clarifying can work in misunderstandings, when there is true conflict based on different perspectives, it can often lead to cycles of argument or even abuse. Conflict Alchemy is the process of transforming toxic conflict into something supportive and safe for our lives and careers.
