| Have you said something to a friend, partner, or relative, and they reacted significantly to your innocent words? Maybe you wanted to offer a suggestion. Or talk about your finances. Or whose turn it is to watch the kids. But it triggered them? A reaction like this happens when a person feels "emotionally flooded" or overwhelmed at the moment. According to my friend and couples therapist, Dr. Sarah Rattray, Ph.D., flooding is when one person in a relationship feels overwhelmed with emotion and shock. This typically happens after receiving an unexpected comment, opinion, or suggestion from their partner. Most of the time, we're in a balanced state. Not too negative. Not too positive. But sometimes, when we hear something that catches us off guard, we don't handle the rush of emotions efficiently. Hence, the flooding of emotions. This, more often than not, leads to arguments, bickering, and fights. How do you prevent this from happening to your relationship while leaving your communication open and safe to share feelings, opinions, and suggestions? Dr. Sarah Rattray wrote an excellent article about how she suggests lovers "fix the flooding" in their relationships. Sarah is a Dr. John Gottman-trained therapist. Here's her article below. ==================== Margaret and Lorenzo were intimate one night, and Margaret realized, again, that she wanted him to hold her differently. She waited until the following day in the remaining glow of the night before and made her request. She expected Lorenzo would welcome this information, but he replied, "What, you don't like how I touch you? So I'm doing it all wrong?" They suddenly found themselves in the middle of a fight. What happened?! You want to talk with your partner to let you feel heard, they will feel understood, and together you feel closer. The crucial information in this article, and four clear, easy steps, help you not let conversations turn into fights. You will learn how to have clear communication instead of conflict.
