Uncomfortable Truths about HEALING ANXIO...

About this episode

Healing anxious attachment brings so much more security, ease, and confidence into our lives - but let’s be honest: it’s not always easy. It often requires us to sit with discomfort, challenge deeply held beliefs, and face the parts of ourselves we've long avoided.

In this episode, we explore the hard truths that come with healing anxious attachment and how unrealistic expectations about the process can actually keep us stuck. We'll unpack the most common pitfalls that sabotage our growth and how to navigate them with compassion and clarity.

You’ll learn:

    • Why true healing means feeling before fixing
    • How perfectionism shows up in the healing journey
    • What being more secure actually looks like
    • The danger of making your partner responsible for your wounds
