Relationship Anxiety After the Honeymoon Phase: Fear, Grief & Emotional Distance

Why does emotional distance feel so overwhelming in long-term relationships?

In this episode of The Happiness Games Podcast, I explore relationship anxiety through a somatic and attachment-based lens, differentiating overthinking, frozen fear states, and anticipatory anxiety held in the body.

Includes grounding tools and a guided meditation for nervous system regulation and emotional awareness.

Learn why emotional distance triggers anxiety in long-term relationships and how the nervous system reacts to grief, uncertainty, and disconnection.
