Episode Synopsis

Send us a textManaging Conflict and Building Mental Resiliency: Episode 20In 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.00:00 Introduction 02:41 The Impact of Audiobooks on Personal Growth09:41 Navigating the Holiday Season Amidst Family Dysfunction19:08 The Impact of Family Dysfunction on Children22:42 Setting Boundaries and the Importance of Time and Place25:34 Introduction to Conflict Resolution Tools32:42 Practical Steps in Resolving Conflicts49:38 Closing Remarks and Future PlansSupport the show
