Why'd I Just Say That?! (From Triggered to Connected in Conflict)

from The Work Within · host Watershed Initiative

“I enjoy getting into conflict” said no one ever. And yet, conflict is inevitable. In this episode of The Work Within podcast, John Lin, Ly Tran, and Dieula Previlon talk about new ways to think about and engage with conflict that will empower you to show up differently when things get heated in your relationships. If you’re tired of the way conflict is playing out in your life and ready for a change, this conversation will introduce you to the vital 80/20 rule, help you identify thought patterns and underlying emotions driving poor conflict responses, and provide a roadmap for cultivating a more effective posture in conflict. HOSTSJohn Lin: Director of Partnerships, Watershed Initiative & Executive Director, Sweet Deeds FoundationDieula Previlon, LPC-S: Founder of ElevateHer International Ministries, Licensed Professional Counselor and Ordained MinisterDr. Ly Tran, LPC-S: Founder and Lead Executive Director of The WELD Group, Licensed Professional CounselorTHERAPY DISCOUNTFor a limited time, listeners can receive a 10% discount off the first 5 sessions of therapy by mentioning, “The Work Within.” New, Self-Pay Clients Only.
