Bumble BFF's resident friend expert identifies the 9 most common conflict types in women's platonic relationships, sharing practical strategies to resolve issues and strengthen ties.
Fighting for Our Friendships is the Queen Bees for adult women, teaching readers how to identifying the problems in their relationships with other women (often fostered by societal pressure to compete) and, of even greater importance, how to cultivate, strengthen, and sustain them. This book will be the handbook that readers wish they had sooner. Using a combination of psychology, science, narrative, and a few of author Danielle Bayard Jackson's signature scripts and out-of-the-box exercises, readers will learn:
- The 9 types of friendship conflicts (The Gossip, The Needy Friend, The Jealous Friend, and more)
- The whys behind some of our most common friendship problems
- What to say in those "wtf" moments when your friend tries you with a crazy remark
- How to better understand a friend who seems jealous, clingy, angry, passive, or insecure
- How to ask the right questions in the moment to avoid a misunderstanding
- New ways of approaching tough issues with friends so that the conflict actually *gasp* brings you closer
In a time when there's no shortage of talk about cutting friends off, it's time to look at how we can keep our friendships going. In a world pushing us to opt out at any sign of friction, Bayard Jackson is here to show us how to opt in.
