Handling Conflict - Deepstash

Handling Conflict

Learn to fight constructively. The aim is to leave you feeling better about your partner.

  • Identify the complaint, not the criticism.
  • Avoid "you" phrases. '"You never" and "You always" followed by criticism.
  • Consider your pronouns. Starting your sentence with "I" or "We" will help identify problems, rather than blaming.
  • Body language. No eye-rolling, folded arms, or crossed legs. Look at your partner when you speak.
  • Learn to de-escalate. Useful phrases include "What if we...", "I hear what you're saying..."
