The Importance of Co-Regulation in Relationships
We want to build our capacity to do that so that when we're in a relationship, we can tolerate space. So someone who is avoidant, your job is to practice coming off the island. That's not going to feel good at first. And then during the actual argument or experience of a rupture, what I recommend is number one, remembering this is their nervous system. Not them. This is their nervoussystem right now. A younger part of them is present, just like a younger part of me is present. We are both dysregulated. It doesn't have to be even a code word, just to be a phrase like, I think we're both no longer in regulation.
