You say you want a safe, healthy relationship—but when someone actually shows up with kindness, consistency, and emotional availability… you flinch. You overthink. You pull away. And you start wondering, “Am I just broken?”

If that hit a nerve, this episode of The Wolverine Lifestyle Podcast might feel like emotional truth serum.

I’m not here to judge your patterns—I’m here to help you understand them. In this episode, I unpack the hidden connection between your nervous system and your relationships. We’re talking about why love that should feel safe can actually trigger anxiety, shutdown, or self-sabotage... especially for high performers and overthinkers who learned early on to equate love with pressure, perfection, or unpredictability.

Here’s what we dive into:

-Why you don’t actually have commitment issues—you have a dysregulated nervous system

-How childhood experiences shape your adult attachment patterns (even the subtle ones)

-What “neuroception” is and why your body might be reacting before your brain can reason

-How to stop self-abandoning just to keep the peace in relationships

-The truth about emotional triggers, and how to work with them, not against them

-Real client stories (and mine too) that show how nervous system repair changes love

-The exact tools that helped me—and my clients—rebuild self-trust and finally feel safe in intimacy

This isn’t about fixing yourself to be lovable. It’s about creating safety within so you can receive love without flinching.

If you’re tired of pulling away from what you say you want... if you're exhausted from over-giving and still feeling unseen... if vulnerability still feels like exposure rather than connection—this is your invitation to begin again, from the inside out.
