Arguments in relationships quickly escalate from small frustrations into emotional battlegrounds. "Communication in relationships" falters when raw feelings like anger or hurt take over, blocking paths to effective "conflict resolution." Partners often feel trapped in loops that weaken their bond over time.
Intense emotions flood the brain during clashes, sparking the fight-or-flight response. Adrenaline sharpens threat detection, making it tough to truly hear a partner's words in "communication in relationships." Self-protection kicks in fast, pushing empathy aside.
