#61: Stop Getting Attached Too Quickly I...

Gloria Zhang, MA
About this episode

Do you get attached too quickly in relationships or become intimate before you're ready? Or even worse, have you ever ended up in a hazy three-year relationship with the first person who gave you attention, or even *shudders* someone you don't even like? If this sounds like you, then you might be experiencing "Premature Attachment",  a survival mechanism you picked up from childhood! And in today's episode, I’ll be talking about what it feels like, why sex & intimacy can feel confusing, as well as some call-to-action tips to start rewiring your relationship patterns!

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

  1. How to know if you experience Premature Attachment
  2. Why we develop this survival technique from childhood, and how to rewire it
  3.  Sex & Intimacy and why it can lead to overattachment
  4. Call To Action:  Tips on how to start becoming more secure within yourself and in relationships with others.

Hey bestie! My mission is to help High-Achievers and people-pleasers heal their Inner Child and find healthy love, especially those who desire an extraordinary connection but often struggle in their relationships.
