Anxious Attachment Style: Fear of Abandonment and Rejection

The podcast episode explores the concept of anxious attachment style, which manifests as a constant fear of the relationship falling apart. People with this attachment style are often tied to feelings of abandonment and rejection. They can become highly reactive during arguments and remain constantly wary of potential problems in the relationship. The hardest part of having an anxious attachment style is the inability to enjoy the relationship and feel safe. Overcoming this involves accepting that no one is truly safe and doing the work to find a new sense of peace.
