About anxious attachment

Are you tired of feeling like your emotions are too much for others to handle?


If you have an anxious attachment style, you may know this pattern intimately:


You crave closeness, but fear rejection.

You long to feel safe with someone, but question your worth the moment things feel uncertain.

You try harder, give more, over-explain, over-function, just to hold on.

And yet… you’re still left feeling unseen, unheard, or too much.


That exhaustion? That inner chaos? That shame you carry after you’ve “spiraled” again?

It has a source, and more importantly, it has a path toward healing.


This is not your fault.

You adapted to early environments where love may have felt unpredictable, inconsistent, or conditional.

You learned to attach through anxiety, because safety was never guaranteed.


But it doesn’t have to stay this way.


Healing anxious attachment is not about becoming “less sensitive” or needing less, it’s about learning how to meet those needs in a way that feels safe, self-honoring, and sustainable.


- You get to support and validate your own feelings, instead of shaming them.

- You get to understand the real needs underneath your anxiety, instead of reacting from fear.

- You get to communicate in ways that invite connection, not push it away.

- You get to stop self-abandoning, and start becoming your own secure base.


This isn’t just about coping with anxiety in relationships.

This is about creating a secure relationship with yourself, so that closeness no longer feels like a battlefield.


You are not too much.

Your needs are not a burden.

You deserve to feel seen, safe, and loved, without having to perform for it.


And maybe now… you’re ready to begin that journey.


Ready to explore what’s underneath the anxiety? To meet the little one inside who still waits to feel chosen, safe, and held?

To stop outsourcing your sense of worth, and start coming home to yourself?


Therapy can be a powerful and sacred space for this work.
