How have, or might, you depersonalize in conflict situations, or do you feel that doing so would be unwise or impossible? triving to depersonalize oneself can be challenging, and one may also question the wisdom of so doing. If one were working to divide between people and problem and work on the issues presented, which would include presented personality behaviors, for instance, one may find that such separation and depersonalization is elusive. In my life, I have learned that I can experience such a rapid escalation of negative emotion that I do not even notice any increase--I simply move from one point where I am calm to another where I am inflamed, without any pause. I have, and continue, to work on that, and in keeping up my self-talk while I am in a state of extreme negative emotion. Wording such as, "Now is the time to remember my skills and training. Now is the time to use reflective listening," can be helpful, including I think having a mental distraction to try to gain some time to reduce the intensity of my negativity. To be able to gain self-control also assists in controlling the immediate conflict environment, as the other person may strive to mirror one's own behavior.
