Meet The Attachables - Milo (Anxious), Axel (Avoidant), and Dash (Disorganized). Three insecure attachment styles… peacefully coexisting in one frame. Proof that when you understand each other’s nervous systems, you don’t have to be at war.

Sometimes the healing starts when everyone finally stops pointing fingers and starts listening.

Attachment isn’t about how you love. It’s about how you protect yourself when love feels risky.

Anxious or avoidant, both are coping mechanisms rooted in fear of disconnection. One chases. One pulls away. Same wound. Different strategy.

The goal isn’t to become “perfectly secure.”
It’s to recognize the pattern and choose connection over protection, one moment at a time.

It’s to teach our body, and our mind, that connection doesn’t have to be so scary.

📍Listen, beloved... you don't have to carry this forever.

That's why I wrote my books.
📕 I Didn't Choose to Be Born helps you face the wounds of an unsafe childhood-the neglect, the silence, the constant feeling of not being enough-and gives you a path to reclaim your worth and finally feel at peace within yourself.

📕 Chasing Love That Hurts shows how those childhood wounds play out in your adult relationships—Why you're drawn to unavailable love, why you over-give, why you struggle to let go-and how to finally break free from that cycle.

Your healing matters. Your story matters. And you don't have to walk through it alone. You can start here: https://linktr.ee/traumatorecovery
