Unlearning Conflict Avoidance

from Unlearn the hard way · host Kat Lucido

Are you the "chill" one who swallows your feelings just to “keep the peace”? While avoiding conflict might feel safe in the moment like taking out a loan, in which you will pay it back later with high interest in resentment. In this episode, we unpack why trying to be the unbothered "Hero" inevitably turns you into the unpredictable "Villain," explaining how the "Elastic Band Theory" leads to sudden crash-outs and why silence creates a "False Intimacy" that blocks real connection. Learn how to stop hiding your feelings and start communicating with actionable tools like the low-stakes practice steps. 🎧 Listen and unlearn the hard way
