The story you’re telling yourself about a conflict may have important gaps that are preventing you from finding resolution. In this episode, Dr. Emily coaches Logan to consider the narrative he’s created of a disagreement with his neighbor over parking that has escalated to threats of calling the police.

In this episode, you will learn how to:
- Consider the conflict from the other person’s perspective.
- Re-examine the mode of communication you’re using in a conflict.
- Know when to settle for partial resolution of a conflict.
