Uncover the root causes of anxious attachment, from childhood dynamics to past relationship trauma, and how unmet emotional needs contribute to these behaviors. We’ll share practical strategies for healing, including self-soothing techniques, building self-esteem, and seeking therapy like CBT or EFT.

Finally, we discuss how to support an anxiously attached partner while maintaining healthy boundaries and communication.
