\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe 5 nervous system response mechanisms in love: the flight response<\/span>\nThis episode marks the beginning of a series of 5 episodes on the 5 nervous system response mechanisms and how they manifest in love<\/strong> so that you begin to see how much these mechanisms influence, more or less positively, your couple dynamic.<\/span>\nIf you are new to the podcast and unfamiliar with the influence of the nervous system on your relationships, I invite you to listen to episodes 152 The impact of the nervous system on your relationships<\/a>, 153 The 4 categories of love patterns<\/a> and 154 The 3 states of your nervous system and the polyvagal scale<\/a>. You can also read my book S’ouvrir a l’amour, and if the solution lay on the side of the vagus nerve?<\/em><\/a> if you want to identify your own mechanisms and patterns.<\/span>\nThis episode is for you if you have the feeling that love both attracts and frightens you, that you are often blindsided because you project quickly, or that you avoid difficult subjects in relationships.<\/strong> In 8 years of practice<\/strong>, the flight response is one of the most subtle mechanisms precisely because it often disguises itself as independence or because the problem is avoided.<\/span>\n
