My Fearful Avoidant Origin Story: How Tracing Back My Attachment Finally Made Sense of My Relationships

I promised you guys real and raw on The Attachment Confessions — and episode 2 delivers. This one got a little emotional (okay, a lot emotional), but it's the episode that ties everything together. 💜

If attachment styles are formed in childhood, then understanding my fearful avoidant origin story means going back to when I was 13 years old — the moment everything I thought I knew about my family changed overnight.

What we cover in this episode:

• A quick recap of all 4 attachment styles and how they're formed (great if you're still getting oriented)
• My childhood — the parts that were genuinely wonderful, and the big T trauma that changed everything
• The night I found out my dad had bipolar disorder and what those months of uncertainty did to my nervous system
• How hypervigilance develops — and why I became hyper-aware of the "temperature" of every room I walked into
• The pattern I didn't see until now (aka why I kept attracting emotionally unstable partners and what my subconscious was really chasing)
• Dr. John Delony's concept of being "attracted to our unfinished business" — and why it hit me like a truck
• Why you can't change anyone else — but you absolutely can change your own attachment style

This episode is personal in a way that surprised even me. But if your own childhood left some scars you've never fully connected to your relationship patterns — this one is for you.

Insecure attachment is learned. Which means it can be unlearned. And that hopeful message is the whole reason I'm here!
