Fight or Flight Defeated!

Overcoming the Fight or Flight Response in Marriage Conflicts Do you find yourself stuck in a cycle where every conflict with your spouse turns either into a heated argument or total disengagement? In this video, Kelly Dupee, a pastor and Christian marriage coach, discusses why the 'fight or flight' response occurs in marital conflicts, its damaging effects, and how you can overcome it. Learn biblical strategies to stay engaged during tough conversations, understand the root of your flight response, and hear tips on how to communicate effectively to build a stronger and more loving marriage. Kelly offers practical advice rooted in Scripture and shares a free communication guide for couples. Key strategies include reminding yourself of God's presence, speaking gently instead of shutting down, asking for God's strength, taking a strategic timeout, and committing to stay engaged a little longer each time. Watch for a detailed approach to transforming your marriage from one of fear and avoidance to one of understanding and connection.Here's the link to Kelly's free Couple's Communication Guide: https://www.turnitup.coach/communicationguide00:00 Introduction: Walking on Eggshells in Marriage00:32 Understanding the Fight or Flight Response01:45 The Role of Fear in Conflict Avoidance02:22 Biblical Guidance for Overcoming Conflict04:07 Practical Strategies to Stay Engaged07:12 Taking a Timeout: A Promise to Return10:05 Building a Stronger Marriage: Small Steps, Big Changes10:42 Conclusion: Your Marriage is Worth Fighting ForTo learn more about Marriage Coaching with Coach Kelly and to book your free Clarity Call, go to https://tidycal.com/kdupee1/30-minute-clarity-call or text 626-804-1731.
