Why you Become Someone You Don't Recognize During Conflict

from No More 'Good Girl' Hosted by Amanda Clark

Ever walked away from an argument and thought, what the hell was that? You love your partner. You know how you want to show up. But you find yourself defending, shutting down, chasing, criticizing, or saying things you don't mean at times. That's your inner 9-year-old grabbing the wheel. In this episode, I'm breaking down why this happens, how your old survival patterns show up in your marriage, and the one question that will help you catch yourself before the pattern takes over. ✔ Why your reaction can feel bigger than the moment ✔ How your adaptive child learned to keep you safe ✔ The difference between your adaptive child and your wise adult ✔ The question to ask when you feel yourself getting activated ✔ Why knowing your patterns isn't the same as knowing how to change them The goal isn't to get rid of the part of you that learned how to survive. It's to love her enough to let your wise adult take the wheel.
