Listen "The Real Reason Your Reactivity Controls You"
Episode Synopsis
We’ve all had those moments where we say or do something we regret because our emotions took over. The reaction happens before the awareness does, and afterward, we’re left cleaning up the mess. This video dives into what’s really happening underneath those triggers: the buildup of emotion that never gets released. It’s not about avoiding anger or sadness—it’s about learning to meet it, move it, and release it before it controls you.What you’ll learnWhy traditional advice like “take a walk” or “journal” doesn’t release what’s actually stuck in your bodyHow to recognize when your emotional “bucket” is full and what happens when you don’t empty itA practical framework to move emotion through breath, sound, and movement so it stops hijacking your reactionsThe difference between calming your nervous system and actually releasing suppressed emotionHow consistent release practice helps you respond with clarity instead of reactivity in high-stakes momentsWhy listen?If this is your first time here, welcome. I’ve spent years working with leaders, teams, and couples on the kinds of conversations that decide what happens next.Most people avoid those moments. Or they walk into them with good intentions but no skill, and it blows up. What I share here comes straight from the real work: the messy, tense, uncomfortable conversations that actually change things when you handle them right.If this is something you want to explore further, head over to https://arvinanderson.com/or send me a DM at https://www.instagram.com/arvin_anderson/My hope is that what you pick up here helps you sharpen your communication, and with it, the quality of your business, your relationships, and your life.Like, subscribe, and leave me a comment if you have a specific conversation you'd like to explore.Thanks.
