Conflict is a normal part of life. However, there are people that need help with managing conflict in their lives. It may come down to a number of different reasons. Sometimes, it is in the genes. Folks were not raised well. They may have been brought up in traumatic situations. It can be difficult relating to others. They may battle with communication.

However, one has to realize that this is a long process, especially when it has become difficult to manage. A lot of people may have turned to drinking because they don't know what else to do. It can affect everything about the person and they will start to lose friends in the process. They find that this turns into anger which may not be controlled.

Conflict can sometimes be triggered due to various circumstances in life. It can relate to trauma that one has suffered from. There are people who inherit this from their parents. There are people who simply just don't know how to communicate. It can be that they want to be right and see this as a form of debating. However, it can eventually get to them.

There are also different approaches that therapists use. They will use goals during this time. They will help the person to look at how they are coping from week to week.
