When a Fight Is Spiralling Out of Control, Do This

A couple learning to pause and regulate their nervous systems during conflict to prevent a fight from spiralling out of control.

When a fight starts spiralling, it’s easy to say things you don’t mean or shut down completely.

What your nervous system needs in that moment is safety, and the quickest way to get there is to slow down, take a pause, and reconnect with yourself.

Repair doesn’t come from pushing harder. It comes from creating enough calm to really hear each other again.

Have you ever been able to stop a fight before it went too far?

Love, Jen 🪷
