Anytime we are feeling emotionally dsyregulated (conflict, fear, discomfort, etc). When we are living in our fight or flight nervous system, our bodies are focused on survival. Our heart rate and blood pressure are heightened and our mental-emotional processing is stifled. Therefore, there’s no room for balanced processing or reflection. We must first get to a place where we are calm and connected to truly reflect on the situation that caused such dysregulation.
