Understanding Nervous System Dysregulation
Fantasizing about potential relationships often signals low-level nervous system dysregulation. This response emerges from discomfort in experiencing various emotional sensations tied to meeting someone new. The feelings of excitement and uncertainty can create stress, prompting individuals to escape into their minds rather than face the body’s emotional sensations. Learning to sit with and regulate these feelings is essential to overcoming anxiety related to potential relationships.
