Are You in a Relationship with a Difficult Person? Sarah Elliston on Big Blend Radio

Because of this, and the negative habits, we don’t usually want to talk to them about it. Sarah H. Elliston, author of “Lessons from a Difficult Person – How to Deal With People Like Us,” shares tips on how to recognize if you are in a relationship with a difficult person, and if so, what steps to take to have an honest, caring conversation with your difficult person.
