Learn About the Brain to IMPROVE Your Relationship

TLDR: This video covers nervous system responses to safety and danger.

Ever wonder why upset in your relationship can cause the same physical reaction (sometimes an even BIGGER reaction) as being in danger? Well, today's video will explain just that! Why we have fight/fight/collapse reactions to an argument, rather than being able to stay calm and reasonable when emotionally upset.

The short answer is - our nervous system evolved to survive death threats like being chased by a wild animal, not to deal with a week-long conflict about the in-laws visiting.

In the modern-day, most of us are managing threats like conflict, disagreement, and arguments. And our nervous system registers that as DANGER, even if it really isn't dangerous.

In today's video, I'll go over some of the brain science behind this phenomenon. In particular, I'll describe Polyvagal Theory and how it affects our bodies in safety versus danger.
