Conflicts are based on many aspects of experience including what we
know, what we think we know, what we believe, what we understand, and
our perceptions of the world. What we know is intimately tied to our
identity. The experiences of knowing and identity are embodied in the
neural structures and activations of the body’s nervous system. It is a
truism of our field that understanding the source of a conflict is an
important step in resolving a conflict. In this session, we will look at
the sources or roots of conflict in the neural characteristics of
knowing and identity, giving us a better understanding of why conflicts
happen, why they are often difficult to prevent or resolve, how
misunderstandings happen, the difficulties of communication, and the
nature of many perceptual biases (confirmation bias, implicit bias,
naive realism, stereotyping, projections, ingroup/outgroup behavior,
etc.)

respond, and author of what has been called a groundbreaking book, Embodied Conflict: the neural basis of conflict and communication (Routledge,
