What happens when a conversation turns into an emotional rollercoaster? In this eye-opening episode, A.J. Mahari sheds light on the concept of 'induced conversations' in relationships involving Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and codependency. Mahari explains how these interactions, which seem like communication, are actually emotional collisions between two nervous systems.
She breaks down the physiological responses of both parties, revealing how the borderline's fear of abandonment triggers a fight-flight response, while the codependent's urge to fix leads to a freeze-appease reaction. Listeners will gain a better understanding of why they find themselves stuck in these unending emotional loops and how to step out of them. Mahari offers practical advice on reclaiming one's nervous system, setting boundaries, and recognising when they're being pulled into someone else's emotional storm.
The episode is a must-listen for anyone caught in the cycle of trauma-bonded talks that never resolve anything. It’s packed with insights on breaking free from these patterns and finding genuine connection without chaos. Mahari's compassionate approach offers hope and guidance for those struggling with these complex relationship dynamics. Her expertise provides a roadmap for healing, encouraging listeners to reclaim their peace and establish healthier ways of interacting.
