The place where I get tripped up around conflict is my triggers.it is hard to remember to take a step back to see what is triggering my response. Self empathy is essential too. I find myself apologizing for my intial reaction and restarting the conversation, but usually with better results.
And keep doing that. When I lose my shit (because I do) I simply say “can we reset?” “Im sorry, that was intense and you didn’t earn that it’s my stuff” we begin again, and they have learned to say/do that as well
