Whole Relationship Coaching

Part 1
Conflict and physical health.
When you and your partner are in a heated conversation, your body activates your autonomic nervous system. The body reacts with the stress hormones, adrenaline and cortisol. Your heart rate and blood pressure may increase and you may begin to feel weak and dizzy. This is called flooding; when your system is overloaded with emotions and you cannot process information effectively. At this point, it is best step away from the conversation and take a break. This will give yourself a chance to self-soothe and recover from the stress overload.
