Why You Lose Control in Conflict
Do you ever find yourself in the middle of conflict, suddenly hijacked by intense reactivity, saying things you do not mean, shutting down completely, or feeling like you are watching yourself from the outside?
If you live with CPTSD, this is not a failure of willpower. It is what happens when trauma energies take over your system.
In this episode, I share why reactivity can feel impossible to control in the moment and how you can begin to interrupt these cycles with practical techniques. You will learn how to return to your True Self even in the heat of conflict and how to restore connection in your relationships afterward.
In this episode you’ll learn:
✦ Why reactivity feels so overwhelming when trauma energies dominate
✦ Practical ways to ground yourself in real time during conflict
✦ Step-by-step guidance to reconnect after conflict and repair communication
Less fighting. More clarity. Real connection.
