Using Neuroscience to Turn Fear to Trust in Conversations
Manage episode 407185987 series 3558623
There's a story I regularly tell when I'm asked how I deal with conflict. It's of a time when a campus leader called my cell and chewed me out. Hard. In today's episode I unpack that story and try to disentangle what I usually say about it from what the neuroscience of conversations tells me. I come to some interesting truths along the way, all in the context of helping us think about how to understand the neurochemistry of our emotions when we're having fraught conversations.
Understanding what parts of your brain are activated in conversations, why they're activated, and the stories you're telling yourself about your physiological reactions (your racing heart and churning stomach) all give insight into the neuroscience of conversations -- and how you can harness that to turn difficult conversations grounded in fear into conversations that build trust.
