Some of the most potent truths we share in the therapy room aren’t about becoming someone new…

They’re about returning to yourself.

To the version of you that existed before the pressure to perform, please, or perfect.

To the version of you that knew how to feel, long before you learned to numb.

To the version of you that dares to choose healing, even when it means rewriting everything you were taught.

Here’s to the ones unlearning, outgrowing, and finding their way home to themselves.

Does this one hit home as much for you as it does me?

You crave closeness, but the moment it shows up, your body wants to run.

You pull away, then feel crushed when no one comes after you.

You want love, safety, connection…
But you don’t fully trust any of them.

This isn’t you being “too much” or “too confusing.”

This is what disorganized attachment looks like.
A nervous system shaped by relationships where love and danger showed up in the same place.

Maybe the people who were supposed to protect you also hurt you. Maybe affection came with conditions. Maybe you learned to brace, to prove, to perform.

But it doesn’t have to stay that way.

Healing starts by noticing the ache and the fear, and learning to hold both.

To build relationships where you don’t have to disappear to feel safe.

Where stepping back doesn’t mean being forgotten.

This is the path to earned secure attachment.

You don’t have to figure it out alone.

We’re here to walk it with you.

Disorganized attachment starts in chaos.

When love and fear lived in the same room.

When the people who were supposed to protect you also left you guessing, bracing, or hurting.

So your nervous system adapted:
—You learned to read the room, shape-shift, stay small, stay ready
—You reached out and pulled back
—You learned closeness might come with a cost

That’s not a flaw. It’s a blueprint. A survival strategy.

🌀 Awareness is the first step forward. 

Realizing: Oh. This push-pull pattern? This anxiety, this shutdown? It started somewhere.
That awareness can be powerful…but it’s just the beginning.

🛠️ The work is in what comes next.

Noticing the old pattern in real time. Staying with the part of you that wants to run. Letting safe connection feel safe, one small moment at a time.

Healing disorganized attachment isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about giving your system a new experience:
—Safety that’s steady
—Connection that doesn’t collapse you
—Love that doesn’t require losing yourself

One small repair at a time.
That’s the blueprint we’re remapping,
and rewriting,
and rewiring.

We all do it. We push longing away by:

Overcommitting to work or productivity
Chasing validation through dating, social media, or overachieving
Getting stuck in nostalgia or fantasy about a “better” past/future
Convincing ourselves we “shouldn’t” want more
Gaslighting our own emotional needs (“it’s not that bad”)
Turning longing into bitterness or resentment (“I didn’t need it anyway”)
Using humor or sarcasm to deflect how much it actually hurts
Avoiding stillness at all cost

But when we avoid longing…

We disconnect from what we actually need
We numb the ache but stay stuck in cycles
We start to resent people who seem to have what we want
We confuse contentment with settling
We cut off parts of ourselves that are just asking to be seen

Scroll through for journal and reflection prompts to gently guide you on this journey.

And remember, you don’t have to hold it alone.

Social media isn’t connecting us - it’s consuming us.

Despite the abundance of online interactions, many of us still feel profoundly disconnected.

It turns out our overactive engagement with social media might be one of the reasons we’re becoming more self-absorbed, not more connected.

We repeat what we don’t repair—& repetition can also rewire for wellness. 🖤❤️‍🔥

Healing avoidant attachment is about breaking the cycles of emotional distance and hyper-independence that keep us disconnected. Those patterns didn’t form overnight, and they won’t change overnight either.

AND: through intentional, repeated actions, you can rewire your brain, shift from self-protection to safe connection, and build relationships that honor both your autonomy and your need for closeness.

The quality of our relationships is one of the biggest predictors of our overall wellbeing. ❤️‍🔥

Strong, supportive connections can boost our mental, emotional, and physical health. 💪

But what happens when closeness feels overwhelming or unsafe?

For those with avoidant attachment, keeping distance can feel like the only way to stay in control.

From brushing off emotional conversations with a partner to focusing on tasks at work to avoid vulnerability, avoidant patterns often prioritize self-reliance over connection.

While these strategies may have protected you in the past, they can also leave you feeling isolated and disconnected.

The good news?

With awareness and support, it’s possible to transform these patterns, embrace vulnerability, and build the kinds of relationships that truly support your wellbeing.

Where you can turn towards others without fearing that you’ll lose yourself in them and also knowing that you won’t be turned away.

Do you recognize these patterns in your life?

Let’s explore the path to secure attachment together. 🫶

Avoidant attachment is so much more than “I like my space”—it’s your nervous system learning that closeness isn’t safe.

Breaking the cycle starts with small steps:
—Notice when you shut down instead of leaning in
—Practice naming your emotions, even just to yourself
—Let trusted people in little by little—safe connection is built over time

Going to therapy becomes a space where we learn to allow ourselves to be seen in our pain. It’s a temporary reprieve where we can let go a little bit until we regain homeostasis and allow ourselves to feel nurturing that isn’t dangerous.

Awareness is the first step, but real change happens when you do the brave, vulnerable, healing work of really seeing and connecting to yourself and letting yourself be seen by others.

Stay tuned for more on how to move from avoidance to secure connection. 💛
