High Conflict Personality

High Conflict Personality (HCP) refers to a pattern of behavior characterized by intense, ongoing conflicts often driven by particular traits such as difficulty managing emotions, blaming others, and a tendency to interpret situations as personal attacks. Individuals with HCP may create persistent disputes, resist resolution, and struggle with empathy and perspective-taking. This pattern can significantly impact relationships and decision-making, often requiring specialized strategies to manage effectively. Recognizing HCP helps in addressing conflicts constructively and seeking appropriate support or intervention when needed.
