Conflict Avoided is Conflict Multiplied

In this episode of Integrative You Radio, Dr. Nicole and Dr. Nick dive deep into the concept that “conflict avoided is conflict multiplied.” They explore how isolation—whether from entrepreneurship, chronic illness, or strained relationships—can impact health and happiness, and why honest, humble, and methodical communication is the antidote. Drawing from personal stories, clinical experience, and frameworks like Patrick Lencioni’s trust pyramid, they share practical tools for building trust, fostering win-win relationships, and showing up as better leaders, partners, and humans.

3 Key Takeaways:

1. Avoiding Conflict = Multiplying Problems: When we dodge uncomfortable conversations—at work, home, or with ourselves—we’re actually allowing issues to fester and grow. Facing things head-on (with humility, not aggression) builds trust and leads to better outcomes.
2. Trust Is Built Through Vulnerability and Win-Win Intentions: True trust isn’t just about keeping promises; it’s about creating space for open, honest dialogue where everyone can win. Vulnerability and methodical communication are the foundation.
3. Quality > Quantity in Relationships: It’s not about how many people fill your life, but the depth and fairness of those connections. Prioritizing clear, caring communication transforms relationships—from business to family.

 

 Quotes: 

• “Conflict avoided is conflict multiplied. The last thing we want is for frustration to fester—addressing it directly, with humility, actually builds trust.”

• “The goal is trust. And trust is created from a win-win relationship… If everybody’s winning evenly, there’s maximal trust.”
