Are You Dating a Narcissist — or Just Someone Stuck in 'Back Brain'? (Pt. 2 of 4)

Your cells are listening to your thoughts. In Part 2, Philip De Luca and Dr. Brad Montagne dive into the science of how chronic conflict literally switches on pro-inflammatory, disease-promoting genes — and why the "express yourself" model isn't just bad for your relationship, it's bad for your DNA.Phil shares a wild story from his work doing deliverance ministry in Mexico — and how laughter completely defused a situation that "professional" approaches couldn't touch. From there, he introduces his upcoming book, Stop Talking and Start Communicating, and explains his holistic, whole-person approach — one that's so effective, often only ONE partner needs to apply it for the relationship to change.Then comes one of the most requested topics in relationships today: narcissism. Phil explains why "everyone is a narcissist" right now (just like "everyone was codependent" a decade ago, and "everyone was bipolar" before that) — and gives you the real test for telling the difference between a true Narcissistic Personality Disorder and someone who's simply stuck in a "back brain" flare-up (which is fixable).You'll also hear about Dr. Porges' Polyvagal Theory — the science showing that when we're upset, we ALL lose the ability to accurately judge a situation, "regardless of our intelligence level" — and a faith-based perspective on why the "express yourself, never go to bed angry" model isn't actually biblical, including a powerful story from Dr. Brad's own wedding.🎯 Key Takeaways:How chronic conflict "switches on" inflammatory genes in real timePhil's new book: Stop Talking and Start CommunicatingWhy one person can often fix a relationship — without the other "cooperating"True narcissism vs. a normal (but damaging) "back brain" flare-upDr. Porges' Polyvagal Theory: why upset people "become fools," regardless of IQA Christian perspective on conflict, servant leadership, and what real peace looks likeWhether you're dealing with a partner who shuts down, blows up, or you're wondering if YOU might be the one stuck in back brain — this episode will reframe how you see every relationship in your life.LINKS & RESOURCES🌐 Dr. Brad / Your Health Reclaimed: healthfullyu.com 📸 Instagram: instagram.com/healthfullyu 📘 Facebook: facebook.com/healthfullyu 🌐 Philip De Luca, LCSW: gobeyondtalktherapist.comSUBSCRIBE to Your Health Reclaimed for more episodes exposing the real, root causes of Lyme disease, chronic illness, and chronic dysfunction — and how to reclaim your health, your relationships, and your peace.If this episode opened your eyes, LIKE this video, COMMENT your biggest takeaway below, and SHARE it with someone who needs to hear it.
