Episode 347 - The Dr. Cloud Show - Shorts - Beware of Your Automatic Tendencies

In this highlight from the show, Dr. Cloud talks about our automatic tendencies in conflicts. Our default tendencies aren't always so productive, fruitful or stellar. Sometimes they stem from conflicts or trauma and often do us a disservice. Dr. Cloud talks Dr. Karen Horney's way of breaking down these tendencies into categories. Our automatic tendencies fall into one of three modes: Moving Towards, Moving Against, and Moving Away. The first step is figuring out what your default tendency is, and then making a thoughtful decision about whether that's the appropriate way for you to respond to your situation.
