In this Valentine’s week episode of Mohivate, Dr Mohi Sarawgee explores love, attachment, and awareness through the lens of emotional regulation and nervous system science.
This conversation brings together philosophy, psychology, science, and culture to explain how emotional triggers shape behaviour, how regulation supports healthier relationships, and why the pause between feeling and reaction protects both connection and heart health.
You will learn practical regulation skills, insights from attachment theory, emotional awareness tools, and simple ways to respond more steadily during difficult moments. A grounded, science-backed look at why regulated minds connect better.
