There's no escaping it -- conflict is a part of our everyday experience.
But most of us do all we can to flat out avoid it.
Marriage and family therapist Paul Mavrogeorge joined us on Great Day Monday morning to tell us why it's better to try and manage the conflict rather than avoid it.
Unmanaged Conflict:
-- Starts off nice
-- Resentment builds
-- Perception changes
-- Blow up occurs
-- Distance develops
Dealing With Your Conflict:
-- Say what you mean
-- Mean what you say
-- Discuss in a calm manner
-- Share perceptions
-- Ask for their intention
-- Commit to seek solutions
