Conflicts are interesting but complex and stressful phenomena. Familial conflicts can be especially stressful because we depend on our families for our essential needs. The stakes are as high as they can be.
When a conflict arises between two parties, usually both have a role in causing and escalating it. Other times, families have high-conflict personalities who are prone to starting and escalating conflicts.
Often, these high-conflict people have little or no awareness about how they cause and contribute to conflicts. They likely have unresolved psychological issues.
Healthy vs unhealthy conflict
Conflict is a natural and inevitable part of human existence. How you handle conflict, however, makes it healthy or unhealthy. The test you’re about to take isn’t designed for people who can resolve conflicts in a healthy way.
It’s meant for those who struggle with conflict management– who’ve come to believe they’re the problem in their family.
This belief may be warranted or not. You might be the problem, or you may have been scapegoated. This test will help you figure out where you stand. It’ll tell you how much you’re contributing to the conflicts in your family.
The higher the score, the more likely it is that you’re the problem.
