To learn how to boldly and constructively defend your position in a conflict, you must first understand your own fears and understand how to deal with them. About this in a conversation with RIAMO said Candidate of Psychological Sciences Sofia Sulim.
“To learn how to defend our position in a conflict, it is necessary to understand why we are afraid. Often, people are afraid of the destruction of relationships, negative evaluations, breaking ties, ”said the psychologist.
Also, according to him, you don’t need to turn the discussion into a meaningless confrontation, but instead you need to determine for yourself what needs to be achieved in it.
“If it has already arisen, it should be looked at as a personal need. I meet my needs, I can learn to talk about them directly. The simpler and more specific we say what is important to us, what is unacceptable, the easier it will be to solve any problem without conflict, ”the expert emphasized.
