LISTEN NOW: Anna Milaeva shares 3 tools to stay connected when tensions rise. What do you do when a conversation gets uncomfortable? When someone’s perspective challenges yours, do you lean in, get defensive or shut down? It’s easy to retreat into habits of self-protection, but these moments don’t have to push us apart — they can be opportunities for deeper understanding, growth, and connection.
Thank you Michelle for this conversation and for capturing the essence of our discussion. What moves me most about the IFS approach to disagreements is how it transforms moments of tension into opportunities for deeper connection.
When we recognize our protective parts as they arise, we reclaim our ability to respond rather than react. I'm grateful for the space you've created to explore these ideas, and for your important work helping people express themselves authentically in difficult conversations. I hope a lot of people connect to your work and this space you created!
