Book your call: https://www.jordanapodaca.com/  Every hard conversation ending the same way - one of you exploding, one shutting down, nothing getting resolved? That's not a communication problem. That's a nervous system problem.  In this podcast I break down exactly why the explosion-shutdown cycle happens, what's going on underneath it, and the specific things you can do to interrupt the pattern before it does more damage to your relationship. ------------------- Finally feel peace after betrayal, conflict, or a relationship crisis If you’ve been carrying anger, numbness, intrusive thoughts, shame, embarrassment, or a loss of trust after a painful relationship experience - or you feel your relationship is heading toward a breaking point - you don’t have to keep doing this alone.
