Stress Languages: Knowing these 4 responses will help you understand yourself and others

There’s a good chance you know your love language (words of affirmation, physical touch, etc.), but have you ever considered your stress language? Just as we have unique ways of expressing and receiving love, we also have distinct ways of experiencing and responding to stress. According to licensed therapist Nichole Conrad, understanding your stress language can significantly improve your response in moments of conflict or high anxiety. Not only that, but knowing your partner’s stress language can also help you better meet their needs.
