A couple of months ago I wrote post 1c of the Beatitude Life series and did not include a downloadable packet to teach elements of self-examination. The link below is that packet. Please feel free to download it and if you find it useful, please share my site information with others.
I formerly used these ideas with juvenile offenders; but they are applicable to human relationship problems like those you might have with brothers and sisters in Christ. Furthermore, your relationship problem-solving skills will be enhanced as you learn to discover and to correct inappropriate thinking; learn to identify and express feelings….
In the process of learning to observe your thoughts and feelings, and to see them more clearly, you have an opportunity also to look at your own motives; your worldly thinking and behaviors…thereby assessing your walk–your relationship with the Lord, more accurately; and seeking His enabling grace to make necessary changes.
Additionally, if you were raised in a dysfunctional family and experienced any kind of abuse, then the pdf material and the recommended reading below could help you process some of it; subsequently, you could have more accurate thinking about it, thereby reducing your level of emotional pain which undoubtedly impacts all of your relationships.

May God bless you in your walk with Him.

Outgrowing The Pain by Eliana Gil, Ph.D: This book helps adults who suffered abuse as children to process it (see the last paragraph of the pdf download for how I used that material and this book).
An Elephant in the Living Room by Jill M. Hastings, M.S. and Marion H. Typpo, Ph.D. I used only the second chapter of the workbook, a little story called Fuzzy the Caterpillar, with questions I developed: to accompany the self-exam pdf material. The workbook has a lot of good basic exercises to teach processing.
