#50 - How Default Survival Responses Affect Relationships w/ Amanda Armstrong

In this episode I got to sit down with Amanda Armstrong who is a neuroscience and trauma-informed anxiety & depression coach. Amanda helped share more about how to understand our and our partner’s default survival responses, which play a HUGE role in how we show up in our relationships.

We talked about:

• what a default survival response is and how it affects our life
• how our default survival responses are formed
• understanding our partner’s default survival response
• how the different survival responses in a relationship can affect the dynamic
• how we can use this awareness to show up differently in our life and relationship

…and so much more!
