Of course your longing felt big. You weren’t overdoing it. You were surviving.

In this blog, we’ll unpack what it means to have your emotional needs chronically unmet, how that warps your view of your worth, and how internalized shame turns your hunger into something you fear about yourself.

We’ll explore how emotional deprivation impacts the nervous system, how your brain and body adapt for survival, and why it’s not your fault if you show up in relationships with intensity.

If this is you, you’re not obsessive. You’re not a control freak.
You’re scared.

Because when you grew up with chaos — emotional, relational, or environmental — your body learned that unpredictability is dangerous.
