Ever felt trapped in a conflict that seems impossible to resolve?
In this episode, I sit down with Bill Eddy, a world-renowned expert on high-conflict personalities, to explore why some disputes spiral and what you can do about it.
Bill introduces his proven BIFF response method (Brief, Informative, Friendly, Firm) and shares practical strategies for handling intense situations in relationships, workplaces, and family law.
We also discuss how neurodivergence, like ADHD, can shape conflict dynamics and what therapists, parents, and professionals can do to respond effectively.
