Deescalation (EP. 84)

Men of Iron Podcast

On EP. 84 of the Men of Iron Podcast Chad talks about deescalation and how we should respond in the middle of relational conflict. How do you handle conflict with a co-worker or with your wife? Do you respond with grace or do you go on the defensive? In the face of conflict your body responds immediately, your heart rate spikes. You feel a sudden surge of adrenaline. The fight-or-flight response is triggered by the release of hormones that prepare your body to either stay and deal with a threat or to run away to safety. But, there is a short in the wiring. The bible calls it sin or iniquity. We can be triggered without just cause, and we can trigger others without cause. We often escalate situations because we don't feel safe, there is an underlying fear. Chad provides practical tips to help you deescalate and resolve conflict with grace in any and every situation.
