What is the Cost of Avoiding Conflict in a Relationship ? | Dr. David Hawkins

Victims of abusive relationships typically develop codependent tendencies due to the manipulative and narcissistic behaviors of their partners. The damage to their self-worth alters their perception of what a genuine relationship is. They tend to ignore red flags and become preoccupied with avoiding conflict at all costs, putting their need to be needed and liked by the other person above themselves.

In healthy relationships, partners ideally create a space for collaborative growth and compromise. In abusive relationships, the priority is often to preserve illusions of peace and harmony.

Join Dr. Hawkins in this video as he talks about conflict avoidance driven by codependence and how it is detrimental to a relationship.

Dr. Hawkins and his team of experts offer education and professional training as well as treatment for narcissistic and emotional abuse.

So many men have said they’re terrified of conflict and it’s gross

Sadly some churches teach that submission is to be quiet and not really say anything. They are wrong and this video is good!

I needed this reminder. However, what if you have a person who continues to defend, deny, avoid?? How do you lovingly breakthrough??

LOVE MUST BE TOUGH!!! Dr. James Dobson. Yes, conflict avoidance is enabling. I’ve learnt so much from you Dr. Hawkins. You gave me hope when I had none. Consequences and keep the pressure on was my mantra in 2020. Sadly one of my children just married a gaslighter. She’s oblivious to it but we all see it. We intend to practise tough love. On the spectrum he isn’t a lost cause and cannot lie while looking a person in the eye which indicates he doesn’t have sociopathic tendencies. Anyways, I’m grateful for all you have taught me. Thank you and may God richly bless your work.

Agree. So u saying we need to have the conflict in order to resolve the issue. I personally don't think its the conflict but the lack of love and respect. I will never listen to no one who not have my best interest at heart. I think no one should. Only when its coming from a loving source. That's the problem. No love.

Appreciate the discussion on the cost of conflict avoidance. However, codependence is not a diagnosis recognized in the DSM5. Nor is it defined by a singular definition.

Think on this one — a fear driven conflict avoiding narcissist? Possible?

I disagree in many ways keeping the peace is more important than jumping on someone over every little thing..
Perhaps if we all read Marcus Aurelius' meditations we could all understand why stoicism is the only way to truly live a happy life
