[Eps. 52] Decoding Shadow Work, The Abandoned Inner Child & Anxious Attachment Archetypes

Have you ever wondered why you keep attracting the same type of partner — or why you become someone else entirely in love? Maybe you’re noticing a lot of self-sabotage in your relationships that’s “not you” or shaming yourself for certain behaviour traits that are driving partners away. In today’s episode, we’re going to play with the concept of archetypes - the parts of us that show up unconsciously that shape your relationships — the parts of yourself you’ve disowned, hidden, or rejected… and how they might be choosing your relationships for you.” I break down the 4 anxious attachment archetypes I saw in myself when I anxious attached and I see in my most of my clients: The martyr, the mother, the chameleon and the performer. I share how these patterns develop, the unconscious fears driving them, and how they sabotage your ability to feel truly loved, safe, and chosen in your relationships. ✨ If you’re ready to break free from these patterns and reconnect with your Secure Woman self — this episode is your starting point. ➡️ Download my brand new eBook "The Anxious Heart’s Guide to Healing Anxious Attachment” to learn my 3-step roadmap to go from anxious to secure — for FREE. ➡️ DM me and let me your biggest takeaway from this episode!
