Heal Insecurity-Driven Relationship Patterns (4-Video Compilation)

People who were neglected as children often struggle to form stable, lasting relationships. One big reason is insecure attachment -- a wound of trauma (particularly neglect) that creates a chronic sense of anxiety that you're not wanted, or you are about to be abandoned. You might RUSH in and get enmeshed with someone you just met, or exhaust yourself trying to be good enough for people who are emotionally unavailable. In this 4-video compilation I share four of my most popular videos on childhood neglect and insecure attachment. Learn what this looks like, and why it's so important to begin healing so you can finally be loved at last.

But that’s not what it FEELS like when you’ve been showing up in good faith with someone who is ambivalent toward you. In this video I respond to a letter from a woman whose heart is breaking, and she's finding out what the problem was all along.
