- Survive the Difficult People in Your Life.

Di Gillett sits down with psychologists—Dr. Jessie Stern and Rachel Samson, authors of ‘Beyond Difficult’—to explore the emotional terrain of difficult relationships and just how to survive the difficult people in your life. Let’s face it – we all have at least one – or maybe it’s you who’s the problem!

Together, they unpack what really makes someone “difficult” (spoiler: it’s not a diagnosis), and how attachment theory, temperament, and communication styles shape our experience of others—at home, at work, and in ourselves.

Difficult behaviour can be subjective, and in the workplace, relationships can be complex – especially when there are power differentials.

In this episode, we explore:

⇛ Understanding difficult relationships

⇛ The subjectivity of difficult behaviour

⇛ Attachment theory and its impact

⇛ Navigating workplace dynamics

⇛ The role of empathy in relationships

⇛ When to walk away from relationships
