You’re not weak because your partner puts you on edge. It’s your nervous system talking.
Ever felt like your partner's energy sets you off, even when everything seems fine? Lee Davy dives into this sensation, explaining how our nervous systems play a significant role in how we react to our loved ones. Growing up around strong, stoic women, Lee shares how his childhood experiences shaped his responses to his wife's energy. It's not about who's right or wrong but understanding whose nervous system is calling the shots.
Lee reveals that by recognising these patterns and taking responsibility for our reactions, we can transform our relationships. Through personal anecdotes, he emphasises the importance of self-awareness and managing one's own nervous system to create a safer, more connected relationship. If you've ever blamed your partner for your reactions or felt guilty for needing space, this episode offers a fresh perspective.
By focusing on your own responses, you can change the dynamic in your relationships and reduce the need for alcohol as a coping mechanism. Lee's candid discussion encourages self-reflection and offers practical advice on leading with presence rather than blame.
