The Push-Pull Dance: Navigating Relationship Survival Patterns


Listen Later

Episode 10: In this episode of Embodied Hearts, I explore the intricate dance of push and pull dynamics in relationships, sharing vulnerable personal experiences and hard-won insights on how these patterns can shape our connections with others. Drawing from both scientific research and lived experience, I illustrate how relationships are an instinctive, often subconscious dance between partners. I stress the importance of both individuals committing to personal growth and mutual understanding, especially when navigating the turbulent waters of conflict and misalignment.


Key Takeaways:

  • Push and pull dynamics are common in relationships.
  • Curiosity and awareness are key in navigating conflicts.
  • Understanding nervous system responses can improve relationship communication.
  • Relationships evolve and require adaptation over time.
