4 Flawless Strategies for Managing Stress and Revitalizing Your Relationships with Elizabeth Earnshaw, LMFT

Ready to untangle the knot of a couple's stress? Dive in as we unpack the secret stressors rocking relationships! 🎧 In this episode, we’re joined by our guest, Elizabeth Earnshaw, who is a renowned Gottman therapist, founder of A Better Life Therapy, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), and a Clinical Fellow of The American Association of Marriage & Family Therapy (MA). She explains the concept of diffuse physiological arousal (DPA) and how chronic stressors, like never-ending parenting duties or acute moments, like a near-miss traffic accident, flood our bodies with stress hormones. This hormonal hijack can make us lose our relational superpowers—turning us into less-than-lovable versions of ourselves.  From humorous attempts at tension-breaking gone wrong to the physical signs of stress during arguments, we delve into the world of couple's therapy and the techniques used to bring partners back from the brink of relational disaster. Learn about the evolutionary reasons behind why we react the way we do in stressful situations, and discover the different stress response types – are you a cobra, a deer, or maybe even a possum? Don't miss this episode full of actionable advice that could transform your approach to conflicts and stress management, making your relationships a smoother sail! ⛵ #ManagingStress #mentalhealth #stressrelief #selfcare Resources We Shared: Join our newsletter!
