EP 241: Why Some People Resist Relational Neuroscience

Sometimes you share something about the brain—like how all behavior makes sense—and people push back hard. Maybe they dismiss it. Maybe they even get mad. It can feel confusing, because once you see the truth of relational neuroscience, it feels like such a relief. So why are some folks so resistant?

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why resistance is often the nervous system’s way of protecting from grief, shame, or instability
• How relational neuroscience challenges not just parenting practices but entire worldviews
• Ways to respond—with compassion for others and yourself—when resistance shows up

Resources mentioned in this podcast:

• Parenting When Your Partner Is Not On Board {EP 146}
