Mental Health Matters: Conflict

 In the fourth episode of our MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS series, therapist Coleman Thompson talks about conflict. He discusses different types including personal, interpersonal, family and workplace conflicts. He highlights specific attachment styles formed in early childhood - specifically anxious and avoidant - and how they may impact conflict situations. For resolution, he stresses clear communication, setting boundaries, kindness, and taking time outs if necessary. Coleman states conflict is normal. If done right, it can be productive in building both trust and closeness in relationships.
