5 signs of a High Conflict Personality and how to deal with them

You’ve probably come across people who are known for perpetually creating trouble and thrive on drama….

More commonly these folks are often referred to as ‘toxic people’.

But there’s more to the story than casually dropping and settling with unhelpful labels, which really is a sign of laziness more than anything else.

Thankfully there are people like Bill Eddy in this world, who offer deep insight into why some people are prone to certain troublesome behaviours and others aren’t.

He calls it having a High-Conflict Personality, and you can identify them with these five defining traits:

👉🏻A relentless tendency to blame others- aka ‘It’s all your fault’.
👉🏻All or Nothing Thinking- ‘You’re either amazing or the worst human alive’.
👉🏻 Erratic and unmanaged emotions
👉🏻Extreme behaviours- 95% of people would never think of doing.

As a lawyer, mediator and therapist specializing in conflict resolution, Bill’s enlightening perspectives can help you understand high conflict personalities, the factors that shape these individuals and the strategies to navigate relationships with them.

If this sounds all too familiar and you know of a High Conflict Personality in your life, you don’t want to miss this episode.
