In today’s episode, we’re joined by Joe Dillon, a divorce mediation specialist, to break down what really drives high-conflict communication—and why small disagreements so quickly turn into major fights. We explore defensiveness, emotional projection, and practical strategies to de-escalate conflict without reinforcing unhealthy patterns.
