The Fastest Way To Lose An Argument

from The Jefferson Fisher Podcast · host Civility Media

In this episode, I talk about why most arguments don’t actually start with conflict—they start with defensiveness. I share the mindset and communication shifts that have helped me reduce tension in my relationships, stop escalating disagreements, and make people feel heard instead of attacked.
