Episode 82
Tuesday, 17 February, 2026

In this episode of Healthy Mind Healthy Self, we explore why love can feel intense, confusing, and emotionally activating, even in relationships you deeply care about. Learn how attraction, dopamine, attachment bonds, and nervous system activation shape your experience of closeness, anxiety, and emotional ups and downs. If you have ever wondered why you feel both deeply connected and emotionally exhausted, or why it can feel so hard to walk away, this episode explains the science behind relationship patterns and shows you how to create steadier connection without losing chemistry.
