What we covered

Conflict is an unavoidable part of life, but when it goes unresolved it can have far-reaching impacts on our mental health. Anxiety, depression, stress, and insomnia are just some of the ways that unresolved conflict can manifest in our lives. In this session, we will explore how unresolved conflict can lead to mental health issues and how to manage it in a healthy way.

The Effects of Unresolved Conflict

When we experience unresolved conflict, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and powerless. We may feel like we are stuck in a cycle of negative thinking and emotions, and this can lead to mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. Research has shown that unresolved conflict also increases stress levels, which can lead to physical health problems such as high blood pressure and headaches. In addition, unresolved conflict can make it difficult to sleep, leading to insomnia and other sleep disorders.

Recognizing the Effects of Unresolved Conflict

It is important to recognize the signs of unresolved conflict and the effects it can have on our mental health. Some of the signs to look out for include:

  • Feeling overwhelmed and powerless
  • Increased levels of stress

  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Physical health problems

If you are experiencing any of these signs, it is important to seek help from a mental health professional. They can help you to identify the root cause of the conflict and develop strategies to manage the situation.

Managing Unresolved Conflict in a Healthy Way

Once you have identified the effects of unresolved conflict, it is important to develop strategies to manage it in a healthy way. Here are some practical strategies to help you cope with unresolved conflict:

  • Take a break from the situation: It is important to take a step back from the situation and give yourself some time to process your thoughts and feelings.

  • Communicate effectively: It is important to communicate your thoughts and feelings in a constructive way, without resorting to blame or aggression.
