How We Communicate Under Stress: Process Communication Model & Nervous System Tools for Better Collaboration
A 90-minute interactive workshop blending neuroscience and the Process Communication Model.
Event Description
When we’re under stress, our brains and bodies shift into survival mode— and so does our communication.
Have you ever noticed that when pressure rises, some people become overly controlling, others withdraw, and some explode? It’s not random— it’s biology and personality interacting in real time.
In this 90-minute interactive session, Irene, a Leadership and Founder Coach, and Marcelina, a Stress Release and Brain Coach team up to explore how stress changes the way we think, feel, connect and communicate.
Together, we’ll uncover:
What happens in your nervous system when stress hits— and why your brain can suddenly “go offline.”
How different communication model (PCM) react and communicate under pressure.
How to recognize your own early stress signals— both physiological and behavioral.
Practical tools to regulate your nervous system and reconnect effectively, even when tensions rise.
You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of your own stress patterns, simple self-regulation techniques, and communication strategies that foster calm, clarity, and connection— at work and in life.
