“Unless a partner is able to say “no” when a “no” is called for, their “yeses” can be hard to trust.”
Alicia Muñoz, No More Fighting: The Relationship Book for Couples: 20 Minutes a Week to a Stronger Relationship

“amygdala sets off a chain reaction of protective and defensive responses (Pittman and Karle 2015). Your heart rate speeds up, and your blood pressure increases. Neurochemicals spill into your bloodstream. The same information setting off your amygdala arrives at your cortex too, milliseconds later. By the time your rational mind catches up with what’s happening inside you, your body has prepped itself to fight, freeze, or flee. This is the point at which rumination kicks in. Sensing the body’s anxiety, your cortex uses its cognitive abilities to control, manage, and make sense of a formless internal experience of danger. How does your mind exert control? Take a wild guess. Bingo. Overthinking.”
Alicia Muñoz, Stop Overthinking Your Relationship: Break the Cycle of Anxious Rumination to Nurture Love, Trust, and Connection with Your Partner

“I can learn, have, and enjoy more by relaxing my grip on the outcome I had in mind and receiving the positive in what’s arriving now.”
Alicia Muñoz, Stop Overthinking Your Relationship: Break the Cycle of Anxious Rumination to Nurture Love, Trust, and Connection with Your Partner

“The truth about our childhood is stored up in our body, and although we can repress it, we can never alter it. Our intellect can be deceived, our feelings manipulated, and conceptions confused, and our body tricked with medication. But someday our body will present its bill, for it is as incorruptible as a child, who, still whole in spirit, will accept no compromises or excuses, and it will not stop tormenting us until we stop evading the truth.”
Alice Miller

“The world is not comprehensible, but it is embraceable: through the embracing of one of its beings.”
Martin Buber

“Unless a partner is able to say “no” when a “no” is called for, their “yeses” can be hard to trust.”
