People with high conflict personalities have strong unconscious fears that are easily triggered: abandonment; humiliation, being dominated; ignored; and other major losses. When triggered, this is a greater concern with high conflict people than with the average person. 

In this episode, Bill and Megan discuss:

• the types of losses that can trigger high risk:
• divorce
  1. new relationship partner
  2. job termination
  3. eviction
  4. neighbor dispute
  5. other losses
• whether these are predictable 
• how to be aware
• how to protect yourself and handle:
• divorce situations when delivering bad news or other big changes
  1. workplace situations, especially when disciplining or terminating someone’s employment
  2. neighborhood/homeowner’s or condo association meetings
