Doing this when you are calm, and not currently in a disagreement can be so helpful later on.
Are you someone that shuts down and needs to walk away to not give into harmful impulses? Communicate that.
Is there a specific way you feel heard and validated if someone needs to apologize to you?
Do you have certain communication styles or other behaviours that may be important to bring up before a conflict happens? (Example: Maybe you can’t speak when you get stressed. This can be important to know so that the other person doesn't think you're intentionally ignoring them in the heat of the moment. Maybe you could come up with a signal to communicate that you're unable to speak and not intentionally avoiding the conversation.)
How can someone support you during a conflict? Do you want to be left alone? Do you typically want comfort? (Note, it's okay if this answer changes in the moment when it happens, just be sure to communicate that.)
It's important to remember that arguments are normal between loved ones. Sometimes miscommunications that cause a conflict. But there's a huge difference between figuring out how to navigate the situation together while communicating both your feelings in a way that you both feel heard verses screaming insults at each other, trying to upset the other person, or even trying to "win". Talk about stuff in advance so that you can aim for the first part.
