And now here's your host for Seniors' Care Matters, Deborah Bakti.<br> <br> Deb (00:30):<br> <br> Today we're going to talk about conflict and share a different, more productive way to think about conflict, and perhaps even inspire you to lean into conflict, to use it to create different and better outcomes and experiences. I recently had a conversation with Liane Davey, author of The Good Fight, and it was such a great conversation, I'm bringing that interview to share with you here in this podcast. We talked in a previous episode about conflict avoidance as one of those strategies that people pleasers use and how it can end up delaying the inevitable or creating even more issues, when we let things fester and go unresolved. I'm someone who typically prefers to avoid conflict. I'll bite my tongue rather than tell it like it is if my viewpoint, perception or my truth, as I see it, if I think that will create a debate or a disagreement that will create stress and tension, and just that yucky feeling of disagreement and maybe even hurt feelings. I think it started as lots of things do with my upbringing. My dad had pretty strong opinions and it never worked out well for any of us who disagreed with him or tried to challenge his way of thinking. Maybe that was the era, right? Children were to be seen and not heard. My mother would typically say, just leave it. You don't want to upset your father.
