I think part of the problem is the way she presents her concerns. When she asks me for my opinion on how to proceed with a certain aspect of a project, the conversation can suddenly progress to a criticism of my opinion. If I'm able to keep my emotions under control, and can really listen to what she is saying, her ideas or criticisms really don't make sense. (Unfortunately, my usual reaction is to go into a shame spiral for having expressed such a stupid opinion and I vow never to speak again!)
