Thank you for doing this! I have read Amanda's book "High Conflict" once and "The Smartest Kids in the World" twice. As a high school foreign language teacher for 25 years and as a parent, Amanda's words and examples have positively impacted hundreds of my conversations with young people over the last several (very difficult) years. I wish there were more people like you in the education field!
This is fascinating! When I start talking with someone about something I can see very clearly, I completely lose my focus. They will interrupt and not consider that I might have facts from another side. I will shut down and not speak to them about anything like that again. So ahead of time it would be good to have a Primary goal! Since these are work colleagues (at DHS) I just know this person is not someone I can trust.
Thank you for this. What a useful conversation. The pain this conflict is causing in personal relationships is quite astonishing. Thank you again.

Wonderful conversation.
I'm going to use looping with my Friend who was really into the Knicks firing their coach. Great stuff.
Appreciate it. Thibs is the best, what a travesty!
