Do NOT flood your partner

Using big catastrophic language, a louder tone and exaggerated terms allows us to feel as if our message is getting across in a bigger and more important way. When we do this, our nervous system is engaged, and we are typically engaging the nervous system of our partner. So often, we do this, because the story we tell ourselves is that we are not being heard, we are being minimized, what we are saying, is not important, and mostof all, that we are not safe.
When we step away from flooding our partners, and not using damaging language, we actually have the opportunity to get curious and ensure that we are both understanding each other. We also have the opportunity to take breaks, and to find new ways to explain ourselves that don’t do any damage to our nervous system and relationship.
