My experience with conflict is that when I have tried to avoid it...it gets internalized and begins to fester within...then it comes out later its much worse than it needed to be if I had just addressed it in the moment. Through conflict and resolution we grow our bond of emotional intimacy with others...we learn to trust our bonds and ourselves...it is a path toward refinement and self esteem. The key is to see what you need to from the conflict either from your perspective or theirs and then integrate what you learn.All good! xo
