If you've ever found yourself lying awake replaying conversations, analysing every text message, or feeling an overwhelming wave of panic that makes you want to pull away from someone you care about — this episode is for you.

You'll learn:

• The hidden ways anxiety shows up in your dating life

• Why the right person can help you rewire your nervous system — and the wrong person can reinforce your fears
