Conflict is Unavoidable: Resolution is Essential

Let’s get one thing out of the way right away: conflict is going to happen to everybody at some time. Trying to avoid conflict entirely — by ignoring your frustrations or simply bottling them up — will cause more problems than solutions. That’s why Pioneer Counseling and Consulting emphasizes proper conflict resolution in Washington, PA, over avoidance: it’s a smart approach.

Resolution focuses on understanding why a conflict occurred and walking away with a better grasp of the situation — in other words, you’ll dig deep. What exactly caused the fight? Is it a persistent thing caused by misunderstandings? Or is it a chronic issue rooted in a lack of respect? Whatever the situation, we can help: by making this process easier to understand. The consequences of ignoring conflict (what most people do) are too high to ignore and include: 

• Long-term personality conflicts with loved ones
• Depression and anxiety rooted in the conflict
• Low self-esteem and confidence
• Problems with sleep and even appetite
• Poor health caused by worry and anxiety
