The Neuroscience Behind Introversion and What It Means For You In Conflict

The Neuroscience Behind Introversion and What It Means For You In Conflict

Avoidance is a common response to dealing with conflict. It makes sense really, it’s the brain’s way of keeping us safe. Conflict sets off our stress response system (you’ve probably heard of this as fight, flight, freeze, or please), which has major implications for how we proceed in the situation.
