Practical micro-repairs to practice daily

Falling in love can be easy. Staying connected when conflict and stress show up is where the real work begins. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with relationship repair expert Baya Voce to explore why healthy relationships aren’t defined by the absence of conflict, but by the ability to repair and reconnect—and why repair depends as much on nervous system regulation as communication. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. Here’s what we unpack: • Why conflict isn’t the real problem in relationships—and what actually keeps couples connected • What happens in the body during arguments, and why nervous system regulation matters more than the “right” words • How past relationship wounds and attachment patterns shape the way we react during conflict • Practical ways couples can repair after conflict and reconnect more quickly When couples learn how to repair after conflict, even difficult moments can become opportunities for deeper connection and growth.
