Own your conflict style | Peaceable Study Club | Supporting sensitive people to find peace

Описание: -This is for you if…

Conflict feels overwhelming, confusing or draining

You’re sensitive or neurodivergent and find relationships hard to navigate

You avoid conflict, over-accommodate, freeze or replay conversations afterwards

You’re experiencing distance, estrangement, loneliness or ongoing tension

You want to repair relationships or relate to others with more clarity and ease

I work with many people who care deeply about relationships, yet find conflict confusing or painful. This session grew out of that work – and out of my own lived experience of sensitivity, neurodivergence and difference.

Conflict can be deeply unsettling – especially if you’re sensitive, neurodivergent, or already feeling disconnected from others.

You might avoid difficult conversations, over-accommodate to keep the peace, freeze when things get tense, or replay interactions long after they’ve happened. Many people assume this means they’re “bad at conflict”.

In fact, it usually means you have a particular conflict style — one shaped by personality, nervous system responses and lived experience.

This session is an invitation to understand that style, and to explore how this awareness can support clearer communication, healthier boundaries and more meaningful connection.


What we’ll explore together

The different ways people tend to respond in conflict

How personality, nervous systems and past experiences shape our conflict style

Why misunderstandings and disconnection happen even with good intentions

How recognising your style – and others’ – can open new ways to communicate

Small, realistic shifts that can support repair, understanding and connection

This is not about not blame of self or other, but rather about developing self-understanding and the art of compassionate enquiry.
