What if the conflict isn't really about the other person?
Most conflict resolution advice focuses on them— what they said, what they should change, how to make them understand you.
But there's a quieter, more effective approach: focus entirely on yourself.

Dr. David Mee-Lee outlines 3 strategies rooted in self-awareness, emotional regulation, and the principle that you are the architect of your own happiness:
✔️Strategy 1: Use "I statements" to name what you want and how you want to be — not as a defense, but as a declaration
✔️Strategy 2: Ask what the conflict is showing you about yourself — your triggers, your blind spots, your growth edges
✔️Strategy 3: Listen with an open heart. Soothe before you respond. And only re-engage when you're grounded
