Wii20100801-Entry084-Six types of conflict, part 1

[podlove-episode-web-player publisher="2644" post_id="2644"]

Every conflict is not the same, though we often react to conflicts like they are. We often think that every conflict takes two people – that both persons have some “wrong” that needs to be corrected.

But, as Tim tells us today, that’s not always the case.

This teaching arc is based on the book “Boundaries”, by Dr. Cloud and Dr. Townsend, and is supplemented by their other books, Boundaries in Marriage, Boundaries for Teens, and Boundaries for Kids.

Read along with the class notes (PDF).

Listen to the class.

We used three clips for our talk on “Six types of conflict, part 1.” The first was an introductory clip, that shows a couple of types of conflict, from the old Dick Van Dyke Show. While we only watched the first couple of minutes, you can see the whole episode here. (via Hulu.com)

The second clip was shown to support the point about communication…and how men and women react differently. This was from Dr. Henry Cloud and the CloudTownsend.com website.

The final clip was shown at the end of class. This also was from Dr. Cloud.
