About this listen

Last week, we laid out a six-step process for navigating conflict, but let’s be honest, sometimes the real struggle is what happens before the steps even start. In this follow-up episode, Damon and Kelly unpack the emotional landmines that often sabotage our best intentions in conflict.

From blame to emotional avoidance, they explore five self-sabotage traps and how each Enneagram type might fall into them. Whether you're a Nine trying to keep the peace, a One trying to make it right, or a Four deep in your feelings, this episode will help you recognize what’s getting in the way, and why it matters.

Stay tuned next week for the follow-up: how to move toward emotional self-regulation when conflict arises.

  • The five emotional traps that sabotage healthy conflict
  • How your Enneagram number may fall into specific pitfalls
  • Why “blame” is emotionally satisfying — and what it costs you
  • The subtle ways we numb, bury, or get stuck in unhealthy patterns
  • How recognizing self-sabotage is the first step toward change
