The Anxious Love Coach

A candid breakdown of what Exposure and Response Prevention is and how it plays out in relationship anxiety. Discussion of when exposure can help and when it can overwhelm the nervous system. Exploration of polarity work to integrate parts that want to act versus grow. A reminder that compassion, trauma history, and personal readiness shape which approaches work.

The podcast discusses navigating attraction outside of a relationship, emphasizing privacy and boundaries. They explore embodying desired qualities in the presence of a crush. They also discuss choosing regrets in relationships and upcoming milestones for their Patreon page. The podcast ends with an announcement of a Facebook group and a request to subscribe and follow on social media.

Trigger warning: this episode is a story. It is chock-full of triggers, pain, grief, mentions of death, blood, and gore. If you've experienced miscarriage and there are some sore spots and tenderness, I might wait until you've gotten enough support to grieve before listening to this. In this episode, I share a recent loss, and how I've coped with it through ritual, embodiment, and dark humor. I'll also share the incredible things it taught me about love, loss, and letting go... This may not be a "relationship anxiety" episode, but for those of you who are willing to traverse with me to a darker, messier place, I'm hopeful you'll gain metaphorical, transferable lessons on self-trust from a story where I go deeper than I've ever been able to go before... you may find it applies to you deeply still if you have ever loved.
