definition of emotional conflict

An emotional conflict shows an inner knot that produces discomfort and that the person must resolve. It is an entanglement that produces a point of blockage either in the professional sphere or on the personal level. Emotional conflicts can be more difficult to identify since they are immaterial, that is, they are not observed in a visible way, however, they are felt.

In fact, emotional conflicts are felt even more internally the more time passes without being resolved. People can turn their backs on their emotional conflicts trying to stay busy with other issues, however, sooner or later a discomfort will surface that has not been resolved and that is still there.

Conflict management

There are different help tools that can be valuable to resolve an emotional conflict: dialogue with a trusted person since in the context of intimacy people feel comfortable talking about themselves, psychological therapy, a coaching process, a personal growth course, inner reflection that enhances self-knowledge, contact with nature, writing a journal ...

Emotional conflicts are part of the growth process and the adventure of living, since we also learn to manage new experiences from experience. The adolescent feels insecure in the face of new experiences, those who access their first job also feel disoriented due to the lack of professional practice, doubts about love can produce uncertainty, aging brings with it new fears.

Emotional health

There are people who have a negative view of emotional conflicts when in reality, people could not really evolve if we did not have challenges. Emotional conflicts are directly linked to emotional health since there are emotional difficulties in the face of which the patient may require the pertinent psychological help to face their difficulty.

Conflicts are inevitable, however, when the person feels overwhelmed by an accumulation of unresolved issues, they can feel exhausted and discouraged.
