Ever wonder why certain relationship patterns keep replaying in your life? Join us on Redefining Normal this week as we uncover the deep-seated roots of our attachment styles and how they shape our interactions with loved ones. Jamie kicks off with a heartfelt story of a recent breakup, shedding light on how our childhood experiences influence whether we become anxiously attached or avoidant in our adult relationships. Together, we navigate these familiar yet often toxic patterns, emphasizing the significance of self-awareness and emotional sovereignty to foster secure, healthier connections.

Our journey continues as we dive into the complex web linking our nervous system to our emotional experiences. Life's curveballs like breakups can send our nervous system into overdrive, but don’t worry—we’ve got practical strategies to bring it back into balance. We discuss the transformative power of breathwork, slowing down, and being present with our bodily sensations. Jamie also explores primal play and physical activities to release stored trauma, underlining the need for safety and awareness when engaging in these profound somatic practices to unlock and integrate deep-seated emotions.

Finally, we turn our focus to the stories our minds craft and their impact on our wellbeing. It's easy to get tangled in narratives that fuel anxiety and conflict. We delve into the art of recognizing these mental traps and redirecting our focus to our bodily sensations, a process that helps us stay grounded and connected. Understanding where our stories manifest physically can prevent unnecessary stress and tension in our relationships. Our conversation wraps up by encouraging a mindful approach to our emotional states, paving the way for more authentic connections.
