Anxiety in relationships often shows up quietly—overthinking texts, needing reassurance, fearing conflict, or worrying about being too much.

In this episode of The Modern Mind & Body, we explore why anxiety appears in close relationships, how modern dating and communication make it worse, and practical ways to calm your nervous system and feel more secure—without losing yourself in the process.

This is a grounded, compassionate conversation designed to help you understand what’s happening beneath the anxiety and respond with clarity instead of panic.

🎧 In this episode, we cover:
– What relationship anxiety really is (and what it isn’t)
– Why reassurance-seeking can sometimes backfire
– How to separate feelings from facts
– Practical tools to calm anxiety before reacting
– A simple reset plan to build emotional security

If relationships sometimes make you feel anxious instead of safe, this episode will help you slow things down and reconnect with yourself.
