In today's episode, I share with you why you should embrace your
Nervous System as your wise BFF!
We've all been in difficult conversations where our body starts to
react. We want to run, hide, scream, fight, or even
freeze.
Or maybe it's your partner that has a fight-or-flight
response.
What are you even arguing about at this point? Tomorrow you
won’t remember. But right now? You feel like your entire world is
crashing down. And you want to escape. Escape the room. Escape the
conversation. Maybe even escape the relationship.
If you end up arguing and fighting when you least expect it -
you’re not alone.
Did you know that once your body enters a stress cycle it takes 15
- 20 minutes for that cycle to complete? Yup - it takes more than
your partner saying, “Just calm down” for your stress hormones to
work their way through your body.
This is why it’s so important to understand what to do if/when you
or your partner gets highly stressed during a conversation.
Listen to today's episode to learn all about what to do when your
nervous system says, "RUN or FIGHT!"
