Writing a text may seem like not so big of a deal *unless* your nervous system treats it as a threat to the connection.
If you're afraid your connection can break from a text, of course you will overthink it! Of course you will try to anticipate the reaction and the feelings of the person on the receiving end.
A text becomes a "lion" that can kill you & your relationship at any minute, so your whole system starts bracing into a survival mode.
This is a deep-seated pattern that you learned a long time ago, and it does live in your nervous system. The good news is it means that you can also heal it from your nervous system.
