This episode’s topic comes from a listener’s question about dealing with conflict when you are a highly sensitive person (HSP). I describe tools that can help anyone to communicate more effectively and provide additional detail about consideration for HSPs.

Here are the links to the videos that I mention about HSPs and tools that they can use to manage that trait.
There is also a brief digression (01:41 – 05:07) about how empaths and how they can be affected by the emotions of others. You may choose to learn more information about empaths.
I outline four steps to effectively handling conflict:
1) Overcoming motivational barriers to approaching conflict
2) Working to understand the other person’s perspective
3) Specific strategies about phrasing your feedback to others
4) Surrendering the results of your efforts
Take Action: Practice using “I” statements to provide feedback to co-workers, friends, or family members.
