Is there anything more likely to induce a stomach drop than knowing you have to have a difficult conversation with someone? Fun fact: even Jacqui, a clinical psychologist, says her common reaction is still likely to burst into tears when faced with a difficult conversation – so you’re in good company if that’s also you – plus Antonia says she’s far more likely to get dragged into conflict if she’s tired or hungry, and who amongst us hasn’t been there?

In Volume II of What Matters Most, the pair delve into the three different types of conflict – and where you’re likely to stumble across each one; practical strategies for keeping calm when faced with conflict and Jacqui’s golden rule to remember when preparing for a difficult conversation. Plus they look at why you can still have a good relationship with someone you fundamentally disagree with, why a handwritten letter is better than an angry email, and discuss the recent cause of conflict that Jacqui says ‘has caused more rifts in families than I have ever seen before.’
