Picture the last real conflict you were in. Chest tight, face hot, some part of you already gone.

Did you snap? Shut down? Cave and agree to something you didn't mean?

Whatever you did, it probably wasn't how you'd have told a friend to handle it. Some other version of you took the wheel.

Here's the real reason: that version isn't a character flaw. She's a pattern, and she has a signature move the second things get tense.

This week I break down what happens in your body in the first two seconds of a conflict. Spoiler: your reaction fires before your wisdom can get a word in.

Then I run all five Capacity Patterns through conflict. The one who leaves, the one who caves, the one who digs in, the one who dominates, and the one who goes cold and correct.

If you've ever felt hijacked in a hard conversation and wondered why you can't just stay calm, this one names exactly what's happening. And why understanding it isn't quite enough to stop it.

What You'll Learn:

• Why you snap, shut down, or cave the moment conflict starts (and why it's not a willpower problem)
• What happens in your brain in the first 74 milliseconds of a conflict
• The five distinct ways people handle conflict
• The reason knowing your reaction won't, by itself, stop you from repeating it
