About this book

You called it casual. Your body experienced connection. The Nervous System Doesn’t Know Casual helps readers understand why anticipation can hold attention, touch can acquire meaning, separation can feel physical, and reunion can bring temporary relief even when a relationship is not healthy. Will Bourne brings pastoral wisdom into conversation with attachment, reward learning, sensitivity, grief, consent, regulation, and practical boundaries, inviting readers to stop fighting the body, recover agency, and choose intimacy from wholeness.
