When couples' nervous systems amplify each other's trauma responses

My partner and I both experienced trauma and we've noticed that our nervous systems seem to sync up in the worst way — when one of us gets triggered, the other's body automatically goes into fight or flight too, and we end up in this escalating cycle where we can't regulate ourselves or help each other come down.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are discovering that their somatic patterns create feedback loops that prevent mutual regulation.
