Do you feel an overwhelming urgency to fix things right after a disagreement? Does the silence feel unbearable, like something terrible will happen if you don’t resolve it right away?
In this episode of Psychotherapy Central, we explore the deep-rooted reasons behind this response, from nervous system activation to attachment wounds.
You’ll discover:
- Why your body treats arguments like life-or-death situations
- How past experiences shape your response to conflict
- The pursuer-withdrawer cycle in relationships
- Six powerful strategies to calm your nervous system and break the cycle
This isn’t about never arguing—it’s about learning to regulate yourself so you can respond from a grounded, secure place.
