đź’¬ Episode Notes:
Everyone has an “adaptive child” that takes control when reacting to certain situations—this is called “flipping our lid.”
“Flipping our lid” happens when our brain is in protective mode, reacting from the fight-or-flight system.
When two people operate on opposite ends of the spectrum, it’s difficult to reach a healthy middle ground.
The Feedback Wheel is a 4-step process for resolving conflict: What Happened, What I Made Up About It, What I Feel About It, and What I Need From You.
Many relationship conflicts stem from the adaptive parts of ourselves and our family dynamics.
Vulnerability creates strength and connection.
CNI (Core Negative Image) reflects your partner’s perception of your worst self—and it often contains truth worth exploring.
Reactivity prevents progress; awareness allows intentional response.
Intimacy and relational mindfulness require ongoing, moment-to-moment practice.
