The Simple Mantra That Can Calm Your Brain During Conflict
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Why do some disagreements feel like a personal attack, even when they aren't?
When conflict triggers your nervous system, your brain shifts into a threat response, making it harder to think clearly, stay present, or respond the way you intended. The good news is that you can interrupt that process.
In this episode, Dr. Jeremy Pollack explains why conflict activates the brain's threat circuitry and shares four simple mantras designed to help you regulate your nervous system in the moment. More importantly, you'll learn how to identify which psychological need has been threatened so you can choose the mantra that's most effective for your situation.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why your brain treats conflict as a potential threat
- The four core psychological needs most often triggered during difficult conversations
- Four practical mantras to reduce defensiveness and regain clarity
- How the right internal dialogue can help calm your nervous system in seconds
- A neuroscience-based approach to responding rather than reacting
This episode explores one of the seven neuroscience-based principles from Dr. Jeremy Pollack's book, Wired for Peace: Using Seven Neuroscience-Based Principles to Resolve Conflicts.
Whether you're navigating conflict at work, at home, or anywhere in between, these simple mental tools can help you stay grounded, think more clearly, and build stronger relationships.
