Heartbreak & Your Nervous System: Why Breakups Hurt So Much

Heartbreak & Your Nervous System: Why Breakups Hurt So Much

✨ Welcome back to another episode of The Alexis Perspective. In this episode, we're diving into the science behind heartbreak and why breakups impact so much more than just your emotions. From nervous system dysregulation and attachment bonds to dopamine withdrawal and physical symptoms, we're exploring what's actually happening in your brain and body when you lose someone you love. We'll talk about why healing isn't linear, why you can miss someone who wasn't right for you, and why moving on isn't simply a matter of willpower. Sometimes your mind understands the relationship is over long before your nervous system does. If you've ever felt stuck, confused, or frustrated by your own healing process, this episode is for you.

WE'RE BACK BABY!

WELCOME BACK CHERRY CREW!

The Breakup

the title says it all.

The One Where I Almost Got Arrested

This week on The Alexis Perspective, I’m catching you up on a few recent life moments that spiraled way more than they ever should have. What started as normal, everyday plans somehow turned into stories I definitely didn’t see coming. I also sprinkle in some pop-culture thoughts and random tangents along the way. It’s real life, a little chaotic, and very much an ‘it escalated quickly’ kind of episode.

Spiraling, Scheduling & Scissors

This episode is a little all over the place… which honestly feels very on theme lately. I’m catching you up on why last week’s episode never made it out, talking about trying (and failing) to be more organized, sharing updates on my new job, the coach situation, and the very real possibility of me becoming a yoga teacher. We also get into impulsive decisions (yes, I cut my own bangs), life transitions, messy thoughts, and just talking through whatever is sitting heavy on my mind right now. It’s raw, unfiltered, slightly chaotic, and very honest. If you’re in a season of figuring things out in real time, this one’s for you. Follow along on Instagram: @thealexis_perspective
