Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • Something’s genuinely wrong here and there’s no time to coax everyone to a comfortable yes
  • I give in to keep everyone happy and tell myself I don’t mind, but the resentment keeps stacking up underneath
  • When I don’t want to do something I dress it up as "I can’t"
  • I want to be able to say the true thing in a hard conversation without either shrinking myself to keep them comfortable or steamrolling them to protect myself
  • Every time we get into this it turns into my side versus theirs, two solutions dug in, and it never occurs to either of us that we might actually want the same thing underneath the fight.
