Psychological Conflict

There are different levels and types of conflict. Psychological conflict – conflict that occurs within a person’s mind – can be the most realistic and intellectually stimulating. Who has not felt pulled in two different ways when making a decision? Sometimes the conflict is between what we know we should do vs. what we want to do; sometimes it’s between helping someone and helping ourselves. Often it is between giving in to difficulties and obstacles vs. persevering and conquering our weaknesses.

Describe and explore a psychological conflict from a movie, book, or personal life.
