The 90-Minute Plan
If triggered, take a break. Breathe. Return when calm. Hot heads don't solve problems.
'I feel frustrated when...' not 'You always...' Takes ownership, reduces defensiveness.
Goal is understanding, not winning. Ask: 'What's important to you about this?'
What do you both want? What values align? Start from agreement, not disagreement.
Specific actions, clear expectations, timeline for check-in. Commit in writing.
Avoiding conflict is often worse than addressing it; small problems become big ones.
