97. The Nervous System and Getting off the Rollercoaster of Emotions in Dating with Jessica Maguire

Coming up on this episode of Flirtations, we're joined by Jessica Maguire, a renowned expert in nervous system regulation and repair, and author of the book The Nervous System Reset, to have a conversation with us about not only healing the nervous system - but healing the connection with ourselves in the process.

First, we explore what often gets overlooked in nervous work and initial steps you can take to get off the rollercoaster of emotions in dating, and perhaps in life.

Jessica shares how we can regulate our nervous systems amidst the uncertainties of dating, even when someone pulls back or pushes your buttons.

We get into the anxious and avoidant nervous systems differ, the different protective responses we have when we’re anxious, how the body stores emotions, and how neuroplasticity offers hope for repairing the nervous system.

You can repattern your nervous system and indeed find calm amidst the storm.

Finally, we’ll learn how to feel safe in our body and sit with uncomfortable feelings, even if that’s challenging or impossible before.

So, whether you're navigating the dating world or seeking a deeper understanding of you and your nervous system, this episode is for you!

Let’s do this Flirties, and meet Jessica!
