The Destructive Nature of Chaotic Character Types: Bill Eddy on High Conflict Personalities (Part I)

Do you know someone who claims it is never their fault or blames somebody else for all their woes, or the person who uses bullying tactics to push people into doing what they want? Research shows that ten percent of the people you come into contact with have high-conflict personalities. These chaotic character types don't just experience occasional friction; they operate through a rigid pattern of all-or-nothing thinking and intense emotional outbursts that can exhaust even the most patient allies. Understanding these toxic relationship patterns is the first step in protecting your own mental well-being. To better understand the 5 types of people who can ruin your life, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen continues her conversation with Billy Eddy, a licensed clinical social worker, attorney, and author. Bill details the toxic relationship patterns of high-conflict personalities. Drawing on his professional experience, he highlights strategies for navigating your way through conflict and uncomfortable situations from his book, SLIC Solutions for Conflict: Setting Limits and Imposing Consequences in 2½ Steps.
