@beccasday: This is one of the hardest parts of anxious attachment. It isn’t that you want to obsess over one unanswered text… It’s that your nervous system has learnt to associate distance with danger. That distance means someone isn’t interested anymore / will leave. So instead of thinking, “They’re probably just busy,” your brain starts scanning for reasons why they haven’t replied. Did I say something wrong? Are they losing interest? Have I upset them? Before you know it, your whole day revolves around waiting for one notification because your body has decided that’s the thing standing between you and feeling okay again. The problem is, even when that reply comes, the relief usually doesn’t last. Your brain simply waits for the next thing to worry about. Healing anxious attachment isn’t about getting people to reply faster or reassure you more. It’s about teaching your nervous system that you’re safe, even in the uncertainty. You don’t have to keep living like this. Peace Over Panic is my guide / workbook that will help you understand why your brain reacts this way and, more importantly, teach you how to start calming it. Comment PEACE and I’ll send you the link to the PDF version of my guide 🤍 #anxiousattachment #abandonmentwound #relationshipanxiety #attachmentstyles #anxiousattachmentstyle
