The Person I Needed Was the Person I Feared: Disorganized Diaries Part Two

from Let’s Get Vulnerable: Relationship and Dating Advice

If the person you were supposed to run to for safety was also the person who scared you, your nervous system learned a lesson that's still running your relationships today.Girl, this one goes deep. In part two of the Disorganized Diaries series, I'm taking you back to the origin, where disorganized attachment actually comes from, and why it's the attachment style I lived in for almost three decades. We're talking about the caregivers who were sometimes safe and sometimes not, the difference between blatant abuse and the quieter, sneakier wound of emotional neglect, and why so many of you have spent years thinking you don't have "real trauma" because nothing dramatic ever happened. I'm also sharing my client Maya's story, the pull-close-then-sabotage pattern so many of you know intimately, and how she healed it. If you've ever asked "why can't I just let someone love me," this episode is your answer.Inside the Episode:Why disorganized attachment forms when your safe person is also your scary person, and how that wires the core belief that closeness equals dangerThe difference between emotional abuse and emotional neglect, and why neglect is so much harder to name (spoiler: it still counts)Maya's story - the "intense then numb" relationship pattern, where it came from, and what changed when she finally healed itTake the free Attachment Style Quiz to find out your exact breakdown →https://drmorgancoaching.com/quizReady to start rewiring your identity?
