Conversations escalate quickly. Old issues resurface.

It slows escalation and helps you understand what is happening beneath the argument. Instead of trying to \u201cwin\u201d or defend, you learn to recognize patterns, clarify needs, and respond more intentionally.<\/p>\n<p>The goal is not perfection.
