Dating with Your Nervous System: Rethinking Love from the Inside Out with Amber Lavin
Manage episode 502790332 series 3661940
In this eye-opening episode of Inner Light, we explore how the body—not just the brain—plays a pivotal role in how we love and choose partners. Relationship coach Amber Lavin joins us to discuss how attachment patterns, somatic cues, and nervous system responses shape our romantic decisions. If you've ever felt stuck in unhealthy dating loops, Amber offers a refreshing perspective: it's not just bad luck—it's your biology. Learn how to date with awareness, set boundaries that rewire your brain, and foster authentic attraction rooted in safety, not adrenaline.
About the Guest:
Amber Lavin is a relationship coach specializing in attachment theory, mindfulness, and somatic healing. She helps individuals reconnect with their body’s signals and develop meaningful, safe romantic relationships. Her work empowers people to break unconscious cycles and date from a place of embodiment and clarity.
Key Takeaways:
Your body remembers love patterns before your mind does—dating starts in the nervous system.
Recognizing tension or unease while dating can reveal misalignments before your brain catches up.
“BO dating” (body-oriented) leads to conscious choices over reactive attraction.
Boundaries and rituals around dating (like 5-minute meditations) retrain your brain and shift patterns.
Real love comes from safety and presence, not adrenaline-fueled drama.
