I have to talk to him, negotiate, solve problems. So he calls me up and he says, We've got to solve this problem. You tell that blankety blank blank wife of mine. I said, hold on, you can't talk about my client that way. He said, I'll talk about her any way I want to. She's a blankety blank blank or whatever. So he didn't respect my limit at all.
So then I said, if you keep talking like that, I'm going to hang up. And so it's up to you." He says, I'll talk about her any way I want. Keeps talking like that. I said, okay, you've chosen for me to hang up. I'm hanging up now. Call me when you're ready to be civil. So, end of call. Next morning he calls me back. He says, Mr. Eddy, we have to solve this problem.

My blankety-blank-blank wife, and I say, hang on. Remember, I'm going to hang up if you talk like that. She says, oh, no, no, no, don't hang up. We have to solve this problem. I'll try not to say those words. and he doesn't say those words, we get to address the problem. So the consequence is what stopped him, not the limit.

And I think it's a brain thing that they're so absorbed in the emotions of the moment that they can't picture that their behavior has a consequence. So if the people around them point out There's a consequence if you do that as kind of a jolt to them. Oh, I don't want that consequence.

And so with high conflict people, you often have to tell them the consequence when you set the limit and be ready to impose the consequence. So that's setting limits, imposing consequences. They have to go together with high conflict people.
