Navigating the Clash of Opposites: Lessons from the Turtle and the Hailstorm
In relationships, conflict arises between "Turtles" (minimizers) and "Hailstorms" (maximizers) who have opposing ways of dealing with stress. Turtles retreat and seek solitude, while Hailstorms seek contact and express themselves energetically. This dynamic perpetuates tension, but by understanding and learning from each other, they can restore balance and create a healthier relationship.
