Slow Down, Stay Connected: Micro-Regulation for Real-Time Conflict

Season 8 of the Finding Peace Podcast with host Troy L. Love focuses on practical, trauma-informed tools you can use in everyday life. In this episode Troy shares a personal story about parenting and introduces micro-regulation: small, intentional actions to keep your nervous system engaged rather than defensive during conflict. Learn simple techniques — slow your speech, lower your shoulders, ground through your feet, and take a brief pause — that help you stay present, choose your response, and protect connection even when emotions are high.
