How to Deal With High Conflict People | Bill Eddy

So it's okay to say, you know, we seem to be going in different directions or I have different plans I've realized I want to change. So those are basic principles. The worst thing in ending a relationship or reducing contact is to go back and forth. The worst thing is to pour out your feelings to the person.

I had this people getting divorced and they tell them, I'm so sorry and I love you so much. Pouring out your feelings to someone brings them closer to you. So you want to start holding back some and the other person say, well, let's work. Let's go to counseling. Let's do this. And if you're not sure, go to counseling. I recommend that.

But if you're sure, just say, you know, I'm kind of not there anymore. I really need to be more on my own. So don't go back and forth because that really makes it raw and sometimes presages violence in divorces. A high conflict person, especially with some of the personality disorder traits, can't handle the opening and closing, opening and closing.

But the other thing is I say do it in steps so the person can adjust. You might say, you know, I'm thinking about making a career change or I'm thinking that maybe this relationship isn't the right one for me anymore. So the person gets used to the idea this may be coming to an end and then I'd like to move out and have more time alone to think.

But it's step by step so this person can adjust to the fact that you really are leaving, but not too long and not too many steps because then their expectations are raised, oh, maybe you're not really leaving.
