In this episode of Talk with Tara, we dive into the fascinating connection between the nervous system and relationships with Michelle Gillette, a functional medicine-certified health coach specializing in nervous system regulation, attachment science, and holistic well-being.
Have you ever wondered why you feel anxious during conflict or why you shut down when things get tough? Michelle helps us understand the deep-seated patterns that shape our relationships—many of which were formed in childhood. We explore attachment styles, the impact of digital dating, and how the pandemic has affected our nervous systems and connection patterns.
Michelle also shares practical tools for regulating your nervous system, breaking unhealthy relationship patterns, and creating more secure, thriving relationships—including breathing techniques, journaling, and even the role of psychedelics in nervous system healing.
This conversation is packed with eye-opening insights and actionable takeaways for anyone looking to improve their relationships, whether you're dating, in a long-term partnership, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of yourself.
