Recognizing High-Conflict Patterns and Self-Awareness

Self-awareness is crucial in recognizing high-conflict patterns within oneself. Individuals with preoccupation with blaming others, all or nothing thinking, unmanaged emotions, and extreme behaviors may exhibit high-conflict traits. Recognizing these patterns presents an opportunity for change. Cognitive therapy techniques, such as identifying and challenging negative thoughts, can aid in addressing these patterns. Additionally, engaging in programs like dialectical behavior therapy or seeking help from therapists can facilitate behavior modification.
