I Lose Myself in Relationships — Guided Meditation for Anxiety & Anxious Attachment

In this final installment, clinical hypnotherapist Martin Hewlett guides you through the ultimate goal of relationship healing: maintaining your "wholeness" while staying deeply connected to another.

This session uses guided visualization to help you reclaim your own light, ensuring it burns steadily from within, independent of your relationship's status. If you have ever felt you had to shrink to make love feel safe, this episode will help you stand tall in your own worth.
