Stop Arguing About the Past: The SWYP Method

High conflict arguments follow a script: relitigate the past, assign blame, get nowhere.
Bill Eddy, LCSW, JD, and Megan Hunter, MBA, introduce SWYP, a three-step method for turning that pattern into a workable proposal, alongside the CARS Method and tips for negotiating with bullies.
It's All Your Fault is produced by TruStory FM.
