Bumble BFF’s resident friend expert identifies the 9 most common conflict types in women's platonic relationships, sharing practical strategies to resolve issues and strengthen ties.
Using a combination of psychology, science, narrative, and a few of the author's signature scripts and out-of-the-box exercises, readers will learn:
- The three "affinities" that bring women together (and tear them apart)
- Scripts to navigate nine of the most challenging "friend types" (and how to know which one you are)
- The covert strategies women use to hurt each other (and how to avoid them)
- How to have a hard conversation with a friend (without losing the friendship)
- Surprising ways that women's people-pleasing delays platonic intimacy (and how to stop it)
- How to know if a friendship is worth saving (and what to do to recover)
- How to make (and deepen!) connections with other women
In a time when we are often encouraged to opt out of friendships at any sign of friction, Danielle Bayard Jackson is showing us how to opt in.
