REBROADCAST: Walking Away

It’s All Your Fault: High Conflict People

07/18/24 • 28 min

This is a rebroadcast. This episode originally aired August 3, 2023.

Some relationships with high conflict people reach a point where the only one getting frustrated and hurt is YOU.

It is okay to walk away? Are some relationships so damaging that staying in them is damaging to you? Will the guilt draw you back under their spell? Will it trigger abandonment, inferiority, or other issues in the person with a high conflict personality, and possibly backfire on you?

Bill and Megan discuss this tricky topic in relation to family, friend and other relationships. How do you know when the time is right? Should you continue trying to reconcile or just stop? And what steps should be taken if you choose to walk away? Listen in as Megan and Bill explore this sensitive, critical subject.
