Description
Managing Conflict and Building Mental Resiliency: Episode 20
In this episode of the Mental Health Janitors, hosts Sgt. Q and Dr. Jess tackle the topic of mental resilience and the role of audiobooks in boosting personal mental health. They explore how to effectively utilize commute times for personal development through audiobooks and understanding the body-brain connection to mental resiliency. The episode transitions into discussing public figures, specifically Will and Jada Smith, and relating their life experiences to everyday challenges, particularly during holidays. They identify several unhealthy conflict resolution styles and provide effective alternatives using an XYZ PSR rule which stands for expressing feelings (X), describing behavior (Y), defining setting (Z), making a polite request (P), specifying behavior (S), and making the request in a warm tone (R). The hosts commit to providing a worksheet to help their listeners practice this method for conflict resolution.
