**Summer Offer** Book your single session Attachment Reset Learn more or book here.
You can be incredibly self-aware. Journaling regularly, unpacking your childhood, recognising your triggers and still feel panicked when someone pulls away.
Still overthink the last message. Still feel like you’re too much, or not enough.
This episode is a reminder that insight alone isn’t the same as healing.
And it’s not because you’re doing it wrong.
In today’s conversation, I explore why anxious attachment doesn’t dissolve just because you understand it — and what you actually need to start feeling safer in relationships. We go beyond mindset and into the deeper work of nervous system regulation, co-regulation, and real repair.
Whether you’re in therapy or navigating this solo, this episode will meet you right where you are.
We talk about:
- What you can start to focus on if you are both anxiously attached and self aware
- The difference between understanding your patterns and feeling safe enough to change them
- How therapy can miss the mark in healing from anxious attachment
- What it means to feel secure in your body, not just your thoughts
- Why this healing doesn’t happen alone
