      <image:title>Blog - How long should an argument last?</image:title>
      <image:caption>When do you call “red light”? When someone gets emotionally flooded. Emotional flooding is when a person’s sympathetic nervous system goes into fight, flight, or freeze. Once the flooding kicks in, our brains and bodies cannot actively listen, problem-solve, or sometimes speak. STOP discussing the issue and take a time out.  Pushing through can cross boundaries and cause harm. Take at least 20 minutes apart and check back in. If more time is needed, take it. Intentionally work on calming down. This can be through long exhaled breathing, movement, distraction. Do not replay the fight or prepare your next argument. Make a plan to talk with your partner within the next 24 hours.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How long should an argument last?</image:title>
      <image:caption>When do you call “green light”? When both people have emotionally regulated to the point they can listen and engage in a conversation. It is important for the person who was getting flooded to be willing to come back to the conversation. If the other person knows you will come back, then they can be less anxious about taking a time out.</image:caption>
