Why Your Brain Shuts Down in Conflict

Shutdown isn’t manipulation.

It isn’t immaturity.

It isn’t “not caring.”

It’s your nervous system

pulling the emergency brake.

When safety was unpredictable growing up, your brain learned:

Go still.

Go blank.

Disappear.

That response once protected you.

Now it just needs updating.
