The Moment Before You Explode or Go Quiet | Ep 70

from Create More Intimacy: A Podcast for Men · host Alisa Stoddard

There's a moment right before you explode or shut down where your nervous system decides the conversation isn't safe. Most men never see that moment, only what comes after it. In this episode, we'll cover: What's actually happening in your body in the fifteen seconds before you react Why explosion and shutdown are the same pattern wearing different clothes How childhood experiences can wire conflict to fear of abandonment, and why that's true for almost every man Why the origin of this pattern stops being an excuse once you're in midlife How your dysregulation affects her body, not just the conversation What actually interrupts the pattern in the moment I'm hosting a free live webinar on September 10th at 2pm PT / 3pm MT / 4pm CT / 5pm ET.Join me live, I'll send the details soon. Save your seat and register here: https://alisa-stoddard.mykajabi.com/open-call-registration I'd love to have you there. 🎧 Listen to all episodes at https://alisastoddard.com/podcast 💬 Want help figuring this out in your own relationship?
