When in Conflict
- Christine Vander Wielen, M.S.W., LCSW

There are distinct behavioral principles we need to incorporate when faced with conflict. Look at yourself in the mirror asking, "What is it like being on the receiving end of me." Is there anything I do or have done to contribute to this, am I missing something? What are my weaknesses? Is my behavior above reproach? What am I to learn through this? We are responsible to seek wisdom on how to treat difficult people in our lives. Regardless of the other person's attitude or behavior, we will be held accountable for how we chose to respond. Healthy people respond in loving firmness to difficult people through the implementation of both learned skills and accessing their spiritual foundation.
