      • Resolving Conflict with a Loved One

        Resolving Conflict with a Loved One

        Sometimes it can be hard to articulate why we are angry at a friend, family member, or partner.  Sometimes, we know why we are angry, but if we bring it up, our loved one will get defensive, shut down, and make the situation worse.  This CONFLICT LETTER is a great way to help!

        It allows you to explore and articulate your feelings.  It reassures your friend/family member that you love them, so they won't feel threatened.  It helps them understand your point of view, and what you would like them to do about the conflict.  

        This letter can be helpful in a variety of ways.  Sometimes, simply by writing out how we feel, we get the problem out of our system.  We may not even need to give them the letter or bring up the problem!  Other times, the letter is just a brainstorming activity so you know how to explain your side of the problem in a constructive and loving way in an in-person conversation.  Other times, giving the letter to the person and walking away is the best choice.  It allows them to read and react in private, to deal with their own emotions, and get to a more productive (and hopefully, loving) response to your needs.
