Lesson
Conflict isn’t a problem to avoid, but a path to deeper understanding and growth.
Preview
Set clear goals. Notice habitual responses. Allow reactive impulses to arise and pass.
Do you tend to avoid strife, accommodate dissent, or compete for victory?
Similarity brings comfort. Novelty brings growth. Balance brings healthy conversation.
Highlight agreement. Exchange perspectives. Explore different themes. Listen carefully.
Breathing, taking breaks, and bonding can cultivate a sense of safety amid conflict.

Resilience means hiding neither from conflict nor the difficult truths it can reveal.
Build trust. Brainstorm freely. Ask why. Find overlapping interests. Have patience.
