Heartbreak & Your Nervous System: Why Breakups Hurt So Much


Listen Later

✨ Welcome back to another episode of The Alexis Perspective.

In this episode, we're diving into the science behind heartbreak and why breakups impact so much more than just your emotions. From nervous system dysregulation and attachment bonds to dopamine withdrawal and physical symptoms, we're exploring what's actually happening in your brain and body when you lose someone you love.

We'll talk about why healing isn't linear, why you can miss someone who wasn't right for you, and why moving on isn't simply a matter of willpower. Sometimes your mind understands the relationship is over long before your nervous system does.

If you've ever felt stuck, confused, or frustrated by your own healing process, this episode is for you.
