In losing connection with self and others during conflict, our different coping strategies try to help us either assert control, by making ourselves bigger to prove how right we are, or by shrinking and turning inward to avoid the problem altogether.

Introduction
After almost getting stabbed to death on a night out, Bryant Galindo's life changed forever.
Having a near-death experience forced Galindo to take inventory of his ego and how he contributed to the dysfunction in his life.
Conflict resolution is a crucial skill for both our professional and personal lives.
In his 2022 book, The New Middle, Galindo uses teachings from his own life to create a conflict resolution guidebook with the undertones of a memoir.
Galindo shows readers that in disagreements – when the mind and the heart are in opposition – we must master the art of meeting ourselves in the middle.
