I don’t enjoy conflict, and find it stressful. But conflict delayed is conflict multiplied. As the conflict is delayed, the reasons multiply. And often, the persons who are involved demean themselves, get weaker, and less confident.
Before the emotional outburst happens, is there a way to channel the anger (or disappointment or any emotion, really) to have that uncomfortable or difficult conversation?

This is an awesome question. We want to vent those emotions so we have perspective on them during the conversation and it’s not just raw emotions clashing against each other.
Meditating, journaling or even talking to someone neutral about it might help!
