Resolving Conflict Effectively
Conflicts occurs whenever
people disagree over their values, motivations, perceptions,
ideas, or desires. Sometimes these differences may seem trivial, but when
a conflict triggers strong feelings, it is usually due to deep underlying
personal issues. If left unchecked, conflict can lead to
hurt feelings, disappointment, and discomfort as well as
unpredictable behaviour. When handled in an unhealthy manner, it can
cause irreparable rifts, resentments, and breakups. However when
conflict is resolved in a positive way, it increases our
understanding of one another, builds trust, and strengthens our
relationship bonds.
At its core, emotional
awareness is the key to understanding yourself and others. If
you don’t know what you are feeling or why you feel that
way, you won’t be able to communicate effectively or smooth
over disagreements. Although understanding your own feelings may seem
simple, many people ignore them, and bury down especially strong emotions
like anger, sadness, and fear. Your ability to
handle conflict depends though, on being connected to
these feeling, so if you’re afraid of strong emotions or if
you insist on finding solutions that are strictly rational, your
ability to face and resolve differences will be impaired.
