Ep. 43: Anxious Attachment–When You Fight for Love

Having an anxious attachment isn't just about feeling like you're too much in relationships, it’s about being the one who fights for connection. You don't pull back, you lean in. You reach. You chase. You cling because connection equals safety. The more you fight to control the outcome of relationships, though, the further you move away from yourself. This topic is close to my heart because I believe my unhealed anxious attachment wound is what brought me down in this life, and learning how to channel that anxiously attached energy into meaningful work is what lifted me back up. In this episode I’m sharing everything I’ve learned about what creates an anxious attachment wound, how it shows up in interpersonal relationships, the impacts it has on the body and nervous system, and how to parent those feelings and behaviors without turning to self-abandonment. Working on your anxious attachment wound isn't about caring less–your emotions are a communication from your nervous system that there's a need there and your capacity for feeling is beautiful. The work is about learning how to care without losing yourself along the way. ResourcesWebsite: robinbreckenridge.comInstagram: @coachwithrobinTikTok: @robinbreckenridgeYouTube: @growwithrobinbreckenridge
