TWR 064: The Impact of the Nervous System on Romantic Relationships with Lauren Zoeller

The way we connect and have relationships with people is strongly based on whether our nervous system is regulated or not. The regulation of our nervous system, on the other hand, is strongly based on old unhealed traumas that may have happened in childhood or just weeks ago. These wounds manifest as relationship insecurities and problems when we are adults, and most people simply don’t know how to address it.

In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, Amber speaks with Lauren Zoeller. Lauren is a Somatic Relationship Expert who helps people deal with tough situations in relationships through managing their feelings and calming their nervous system. Lauren explains the 4Fs of common nervous system reactions: Fight, Flight, Freeze, and Fawn. Each one guides us on how we will respond to anxiety inducing moments. Tune in!
