Today, what if we set aside the goal of eliminating conflict and instead ask, how can we do conflict better?Think back to the last time you found yourself in an argument with someone.
#KEEP IT PODCAST SERIES#
This week on Hidden Brain, we kick off a series that we are calling Relationships 2.0. Increasingly, psychological research is taking a different approach to discord with profound implications for disputes big and small. But sometimes the roots of antagonism and anger are so deeply entrenched that avoiding conflict isn't possible and trying to reach a happy place of agreement and love isn't realistic. Conflict is uncomfortable and unpleasant. For many of us, our first impulse when it comes to conflict is to ask, how can I shut it down? How can I resolve it? This impulse makes sense.

This week, we kick off our new Relationships 2.0 series by asking: what if we stop trying to eliminate conflict and instead ask how can we do conflict better?
