60-­100    =  you  could  use  a  chill  pill  and  learn  some  tools  to  relax.  If  you  don’t  learn  how  to  chill,  you  will  end  the  relationship  and  go  repeat  it  with  someone  else.  30-­60  =  you  get  upset  enough  that  you’re  not  helping  your  partner  feel  safe0-­30  =  Good  job,  you  are  not  making  things  worse.  And,  fighting  isn’t  your  style.

60-­100  You  are  well  on  your  way  to  having  great  relationships  for  the  rest  of  your  life30-­60  You  are  going  to  have  good  relationships.  0-­30  You’ve  got  some  work  to  do,  but  at  least  you  are  open  to  it.  And,  you’ve  got  a  lot  to  learn  if  you  want  great  relationships.

60-­100    =  you  have  a  super  sensitive  nervous  system  when  it  comes  to  conflict  and  if  you  don’t  learn  to  work  with  this,  you’re  partner  will  probably  leave  you.  30-­60  =  you  are  scared  of  conflict  and  you  are  probably  willing  to  work  on  it0-­30  =  Good  job,  you  are  not  making  things  worse.  And,  freezing  and  shutting  down  isn’t  really  your  style.  

60-­100    =  You  are  very  conflict  avoidant.  You  are  great  at  stuffing  conflict,  but  that  energy  has  to  go  somewhere  so  your  body  will  bear  the  burden  and  your  health  will  deteriorate.  You  will  do  whatever  it  takes  to  keep  the  relationship  going  which  is  why  you  withhold  your  true  feelings  for  fear  of  losing  your  partner.30-­60  =  you  are  scared  of  conflict  and  yet,  you  are  probably  willing  to  work  on  it0-­30  =  Good  job,  you  are  not  making  things  worse.  And,  flighting  and  running  way  isn’t  your  style.

As  you  see,  each  style  responds  differently  to  conflict  based  on  our  history  and  our  nervous  system.  It’s  great  to  be  able  to  know  what  conflict  style  you  are,  so  you  can  share  this  with  your  partner.  Educate  them  on  your  style.  Have  fun  with  this  and  share  notes!

Okay,  here’s  the  breakdown  based  on  each  style.
