Ever feel like you're “in trouble” with your partner—even though you're a grown adult? That tight feeling in your chest, the urge to defend yourself, shut down, or appease… it’s more common than you think. And it’s not your fault.
In this episode, we explore how growing up in a punitive culture wires us to associate conflict with danger—and how that fear shows up in our adult relationships. Using the lenses of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), Terry Real’s Adaptive Child vs. Wise Adult, and self-compassion, we look at how to shift from self-protection to connection, even when emotions run high.
You’ll learn:
Why the “I’m in trouble” feeling gets triggered in conflict
How to recognize when your Adaptive Child is in the driver’s seat
Ways to offer yourself empathy so you can show up in your relationship from your Wise Adult self
Practical NVC tools to respond with connection instead of self-protection
Whether you're in a partnership or want to prepare for one, this episode is an invitation to soften, slow down, and connect—with yourself and your loved ones.
