Times of High Risk: The Most Dangerous Times with HCPs
People with high conflict personalities have strong unconscious fears that are easily triggered: abandonment; humiliation, being dominated; ignored; and other major losses. When triggered, this is a greater concern with high conflict people than with the average person.
In this episode, Bill and Megan discuss:
- the types of losses that can trigger high risk:
- divorce
- new relationship partner
- job termination
- eviction
- neighbor dispute
- other losses
- whether these are predictable
- how to be aware
- how to protect yourself and handle:
- divorce situations when delivering bad news or other big changes
- workplace situations, especially when disciplining or terminating someone’s employment
- neighborhood/homeowner’s or condo association meetings
