Welcome to The Attachment Trap Podcast
“You’re not broken, you’re wired for survival.”
In this very first episode, therapist, coach, and author Tim Ervin introduces the heart and soul of The Attachment Trap Podcast. If dating has ever left you spiraling after a text, chasing emotionally unavailable people, or wondering if love is just too much for you, this episode is your invitation to a whole new understanding of yourself.
Based on Tim’s book, The Attachment Trap: Loving Without Losing Yourself, this podcast is for the overthinkers, the tender-hearted, the avoiders, the pleasers, and anyone who’s ever felt like they’re too much, not enough, or just stuck in the same dating patterns.
You’ll learn:
· Why dating activates your nervous system’s survival responses
· How early attachment patterns quietly shape the way you love, text, and trust
· Why “the spark” might actually be a trauma response
· And how to begin shifting from chaos to calm in your love life
This episode lays the groundwork for everything to come, a journey through all 13 chapters of the book, where we’ll explore ghosting, boundaries, green flags, chemistry vs. compatibility, and how to feel safe in your own body and relationships, finally.
Whether you’re recovering from heartbreak, navigating the apps, or learning to trust again, you are not alone. You’re not broken. And your path to grounded, connected love starts here.
