Hello listeners! In this episode, I bring together neuroscience and everyday life to present tips on how to communicate when you are feeling at your worst. Whether you are in an argument with your partner, a power struggle with your kid, or a disagreement with friends/coworkers, these concepts are universal and work in any situation. So if you feel like you are constantly in conflict with people, as life goes, take a listen!
Topics discussed:
- What we do when we run into conflict
- Neuroscience:
- Default Mode Network
- Frontoparietal Network
- Salience Network
- How to calm down and practice the embodied mind
- What is validation?
- How exactly do we validate
- How to place a boundary
