CONFLICTED

An Inward Journey Toward Redeeming Conflict

Conflict is unavoidable.

Whether in marriage, family, friendships, or the workplace, it shapes every meaningful relationship we have. Yet most of us were never taught how to handle it well. We either avoid it and lose connection, or we fight hard and cause damage. But what if conflict could become the very place where growth, healing, and intimacy take root?


Conflicted introduces a bold new approach: Conflict-Focused Therapy (CFT). Drawing from years of clinical practice, personal experience, and timeless wisdom, Ly Tran shows how conflict is not a detour from healthy relationships but the pathway to them. Through stories, metaphors, and practical tools, he helps readers recognize the difference between ugly conflict (volatile and destructive), bad conflict (passive and avoidant), and good conflict (honest, engaged, and transformative).

You will learn how to:


• Recognize and break destructive conflict cycles

• Discover the deeper emotions and narratives driving your reactions

• Build the endurance to stay grounded when tension rises

• Recover from painful moments with resilience and clarity

• Redeem conflict as a place of trust, intimacy, and growth


Written with warmth, clarity, and real-world insight, Conflicted offers hope for anyone who feels stuck in repeating battles or exhausted by constant tension. This book will help you see conflict not as something to fear but as the doorway to deeper connection with others and with yourself.
