About this episode
You swear it’ll be different this time. You’ll stay calm when your mom criticizes you, when your partner walks away mid-argument, or when your friend ghosts you for the third time. And yet…there you are again: defending, withdrawing, or apologizing just to make the tension stop. You’re not weak. You’re wired. Your brain learned long ago what to do when it sensed danger, and it still thinks those same moves are saving your life. Today we’re going to talk about what’s really driving your emotional reactions, why change feels so impossible at first, and the five-step process to finally rewire those old patterns for good.____________________________Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/breaking-emotional-patterns Download your free guide: The Emotional Pattern Interrupter: A 1-Page Guide to Rewire in Real Time.
