Back to Episodes115. Anxious Attachment: Why You Spiral Waiting for a Text Back | Somatic Attachment Series Part 1
Description
Have you ever sent a text, felt good about it… and then spiraled after they didn’t respond?
In this episode, I break down what’s actually happening in those moments and why it has nothing to do with you being “too much” or overthinking. We’re going deeper than your thoughts and into your nervous system, where anxious attachment really begins. I walk you through how to recognize what anxious attachment feels like in your body, how to stay with those sensations instead of reacting, and how to start showing up differently in your relationships without shutting yourself down or needing constant reassurance. This is where we stop trying to think our way out of anxiety and start learning how to move through it.
You might want to listen if:
- You feel a wave of anxiety the moment someone doesn’t text you back
- You find yourself over-analyzing messages and questioning what you said
- You feel an urgent need to fix things or reach out when something feels off
- You know you’re overthinking, but can’t seem to stop in the moment
- You want to feel more calm, grounded, and secure in your relationships
