Q&A Lab - Answering Listener Questions

It’s All Your Fault: High Conflict People

It’s time for the Q&A Lab again! In this episode, Bill and Megan answer listener questions on several topics, including:

• dealing with high conflict family members who accuse you of not living up to their expectations. Should hurtful comments be ignored? Should EAR Statements be used?
• similarities and differences of ADHD and personality disorders
• can ADHD co-exist with a high conflict personality in the same individual
• from a previous podcast on Russia’s Putin in which we suggested that he may suffer from malignant narcissism, and whether the term “psychopath” would be more accurate
• deciding when to use EAR Statements and BIFF Responses to create connection with a person with a high conflict personality, and when to just take distance or avoid them
• re-kindling an old friendship with someone with Borderline Personality HCP attributes

Listen as we break it down and answer these questions that truly have a significant impact on lives.
