Can your attachment style actually change? One of my private coaching clients went from anxious to secure attachment over 4 to 6 months of nervous system work, and she never expected it to be part of what shifted. In this video I share her words and what I think is happening in the body when attachment patterns start to change.
Here's what she wrote to me:
"Something I truly wasn't expecting from working with Amanda, was that my relationship attachment style would literally change! I went from anxious to secure through all of the amazing nervous system work I did with her over a period of 4-6 months. I NEVER thought that would be an output of the work, but it feels amazing to be more secure in relationships."
If you have an anxious attachment style, you probably know the feeling. The waiting for a text. The overthinking. The sense that your body is on high alert in your relationship even when nothing is wrong. Most attachment advice works on the thoughts and the story. I work with the body, because so much of what we call anxious attachment is a nervous system that learned to stay activated around connection.
In this video I talk about:
- What anxious attachment feels like in your body
- Why understanding your attachment style isn't always enough to change it
- How nervous system regulation and co-regulation help build secure attachment
- What "earned secure attachment" can look like in real life
- What opens up once you feel secure in love: more ease, more pleasure, more room to be yourself
