This is a helpful breakdown of why heated arguments feel like talking to a brick wall! I love how you explain the brain’s role in all this. It’s so reassuring to know that it’s not about stubbornness, but biology. I’ve definitely been guilty of trying to “explain better” mid-argument (ha!).
Thanks for sharing a clear and practical perspective, Margo!
It's so helpful to remember that we are, after all, animals with strong survival instincts! It cuts through some of the shame that can come up during conflict about "failing" to be understood or to understand. Thank you for this, Margo.
So true! It’s so important to understand this piece and take a break before even trying to talk again in better circumstances. Thanks for the share 💞
Thank you Laure ❤️

Oh me too. Or just louder- because of course that would work, right?
Thanks for your encouragement!
Is it ok if I share this Dom?
Yes, it is Margo :)
Thank you for asking!

Shame can be so ever present. Lurking underneath. And so not helpful.
Thanks for your encouragement Keith!
