This is part one of a two-part series where I share 10 signs of anxious attachment and what you can do to start creating more secure relationships.

✨ In this episode, we’ll cover:

• The fear of abandonment—why it feels so real and how to pause before panic takes over
• Overthinking—why replaying conversations and “what-ifs” keeps you stuck in anxiety
• Constant reassurance seeking—how it sabotages trust in yourself and your relationships
• The hidden beliefs behind these patterns (not being good enough, being “too much”)
• Tools to calm your nervous system when your anxious attachment is triggered
• How to begin rewriting your self-worth and love narratives so you can feel safe in relationships

💡 Key Takeaways:

• Your brain is wired to tell stories rooted in fear—but you can learn to separate facts from anxious thoughts.
• Seeking reassurance may feel soothing, but it weakens self-trust. True safety comes from learning to regulate yourself.
• Overthinking and perfectionism are not signs of unworthiness—they’re signals that your anxious attachment is in the driver’s seat.
• With awareness and practice, you can teach your brain and body to become a safe place for all of your emotions.

📌 Try This:

• Next time you feel fear of abandonment or panic: pause, take a sip of cold water, and label the sensation in your body before reacting.
• Write down your thoughts (a thought download) and separate facts from the “story” your brain is making up.
• Practice new self-talk: instead of “I’m not enough”, try “I feel fear AND I am capable of holding it. My worth is inherent.”

✨ Remember: You are not broken. You are not too much. You are not stuck in anxious attachment forever. With the right tools, you can rewire your brain and create secure, loving relationships.
