✔️ Scared of being seen and left?
✔️ Everything's perfect, feels unreal?
✔️ Waiting for things to go wrong?
✔️ Go all in or leave? Is it intuition or past hurt talking?
✔️ Independent but wanting emotional safety?

Sure, there are Apps for this. And there's more to this story.

Studies show long-term relationship conflicts change your stress hormones - cortisol, ACTH, norepinephrine. This impacts how you feel safety and connection later on.

One study found that stress hormone levels during the first year of marriage can predict marital happiness 10 years later. 🔄

If only there was some sort of switch that could turn stress hormones on and off, am I right?

The ideal partner? It's more than just vibes.

It's not about not having conflict, but studies show that when a partner can stay connected even through conflict, there is a massive drop in stress hormones.

This supports your brain's health, your immunity, your body's metabolic responses, gut, and more.

On the other hand, studies show that the depth of relational conflicts can mess with your hormones, affecting your well-being.

Power dynamics matter too.

Less perceived power can mean higher ACTH levels during arguments. It's not just about emotions; it's your health on the line.

The body's safety switch.
The nervous system.
That simple.
That's what turns those stress hormones on and off.

Strong, independent, and capable? Yes, that's you.

But are you still seeking connection? That's human.

It’s about sharing life's ride, not handing over the wheel. Remember, it's not just romance; it's science.

And as for your part?

Understanding and caring for your nervous system isn't extra; it's essential.

It's about building a strong inner foundation so that when you team up, it's from a place of strength and respect.

Whether you are seeking, nurturing, or closing down a partnership, it's not just scripts and tools. It's helping our whole body journey with clarity.
