For this discussion post, think back over the previous week or so and reflect on any problematic conflict interactions you have had (e.g., complaints, defensiveness, contempt, or stonewalling).
Select ONE problematic interaction (for example, one complaint episode or one occasion when you became defensive) and address the following:
- Explain what happened (1-3 sentences).
- Explain why you think you behaved as you did. (Remember to draw on textbook concepts to explain this.)
- Identify at least one thing you would do differently if you could engage in the interaction again. If you wouldn’t do anything differently, explain why.
