We are deeply committed to helping people move from a state of loneliness and confusion to a place of safety and contentment with hope for the future. Whether you are in a relationship or single, struggling with dependency or trauma, in order to move forward, cultivating a deeper understanding of your own self is paramount. In doing deeper core work—and understanding why we find ourselves stuck in patterns and situations—we are able to form healthier relationships with ourselves and consequently, have healthier relationships with others. The core of most mental health issues centers around getting to know your truth, understanding how and why you are where you are, and then creating awareness and a deeper understanding around it. Once you connect with yourself—and only then—can you start to develop healthier relationships with yourself and those around you.

I want to personally thank Guardian Recovery, Keesha Scott, and Josh Scott for hosting such a beautiful book signing at their incredible treatment center.

This was not something I asked for. It was graciously and generously offered, and I am truly blown away by the level of support. The event filled to capacity, which was incredibly moving and spoke to how ready the treatment community is for this conversation.

As someone who has worked in the substance abuse field, it means so much to me to see deep attachment informed work reach the treatment community. SAFE unpacks why we develop certain behaviors and protectors, how we cope with pain, and how real healing happens at the level of our inner wounds. Attachment trauma is such a vital framework for understanding and supporting individuals struggling with substance use, and it feels deeply meaningful to see this work becoming more visible and accessible to both providers and clients.

The event was hosted with so much care, intention, and professionalism, and I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to share this work in a space where it is truly needed.

Thank you to Keesha and Josh, as well as everyone who worked so hard to put this event together. From my heart to yours 🤍

Awareness is the first stage of healing, but it’s also the most uncomfortable. Suddenly your brain starts to recognize your own patterns in real time, but your body is still wired to live them out.

This gap between insight and integration can feel disorienting. You can see the trigger, understand the cycle, and even name the part of you reacting, but still find yourself doing the thing you swore you wouldn’t do… again.

Why does this happen? Insight happens in the prefrontal cortex, which is the logical, reflective part of your brain.

Behavior, however, lives in the limbic system, which is the emotional and procedural patterns wired through repetition, often since childhood.

So when you say, “I know better, but I still did it,” what you’re really experiencing is the lag between knowing and rewiring.

Neuroplasticity is in progressing here. Integration takes time, repetition, and safety.

If your new-year motivation has already faded, I want you to know that it likely has much more to do with your nervous system than you realize.

When your goals are rooted in survival, not self-trust, your nervous system eventually pulls you back to what feels familiar. And while this will feel like resistance, it’s actually protection.

Many people with anxious or codependent patterns learned early on that achievement was connection.

The brain stored that association deep in implicit memory, so even now, you might chase success to calm your nervous system or panic when progress slows because it feels so much like rejection.

Here’s the thing, though, sustainable change cannot come from adrenaline. It needs to come from a regulated place.

Before trying to recommit to your goals try this instead:

• Ask your body what it needs today. Maybe it’s rest, support, or continued gentleness.

• Notice if your goals are built more on a fear of falling behind or a love for who you want to become.

• Remember that safety needs to come before strategy.

When your body feels safe, you no longer need to hustle for worthiness, because you’ll create from wholeness instead.

Many people think that codependency is a personality trait or something you are. However, from a nervous system and attachment perspective, it’s not.

It’s a learned survival strategy.

When safety, consistency, or emotional attunement weren’t reliably available early on, the nervous system adapted in intelligent ways to preserve connection. These adaptations often solidified into core beliefs because they helped you survive, not because they were true.

It’s your nervous system remembering who you had to be to survive.

When a child learns that closeness depends on being helpful, easy, quiet, or strong, the brain wires connection to performance. Over time, the body learns that staying attuned to others feels safer than turning inward.

This is why codependency often shows up as:

• Over giving
• Over functioning
• Difficulty resting
• Fear of conflict
• Losing yourself in relationships

Your nervous system learned that connection required adaptation.

Here’s the important part:
What was learned in relationship can be healed in relationships.

Core wounds don’t heal through insight alone. You can understand your patterns and still feel stuck repeating them. Healing happens when the nervous system experiences felt safety with support and learns that your needs, boundaries, and presence don’t threaten connection.

Awareness is the beginning. Survival doesn’t have to be the end.

If you’re dating someone with an anxious attachment, it can be confusing to watch how much small moments seem to matter to them. It’s important to know that those moments aren’t to gain control or take up time, but to regulate their nervous system.

When early connection felt inconsistent, the nervous system learned to stay alert by tracking tone, timing, and presence as a way of staying connected. It’s a pattern that lives in their body subconsciously. Often, they aren’t even aware they are doing it.

This is why, after conflict, saying something like, “there’s nothing to worry about,” doesn’t land, but consistency does.

Anxious attachment moves to security when safety becomes predictable enough for the body to relax.

And here’s the thing, understanding this doesn’t mean you have to abandon your own boundaries. The goal of posts like this is to hell you see the behavior for what it actually is, which is a nervous system trying to be safe.

And that changes things more than you would think.

Here’s to everyone trying to explain intergenerational trauma, nervous system healing, or boundaries to a parent who simply doesn’t have the language or capacity for it.

This work can feel incredibly lonely and frustrating.

There’s a moment in healing where everything you were taught to normalize starts to unravel, and you’re left sitting in the discomfort of seeing it clearly while the people who raised you can’t or won’t see it the same way.

That moment can bring a lot of grief, confusion, anger, and even a quiet, “What am I supposed to do with this now?”

Here’s what matters:
Most parents passed down what they had access to, not what was optimal, regulated, but what helped them survive.

For many baby boomers and generations before them, slowing down, reflecting, or tending to emotional safety was never modeled. Instead, survival, endurance, and pushing through were the currencies of care.

So if you’re the one slowing down now, questioning patterns instead of repeating them, or learning to feel safe instead of just functioning, you’re not betraying your family, being dramatic, or too sensitive.

You’re doing nervous system repair.

And yes, when one person does this work, it does ripple outward. You’re not just healing yourself, but the lineage.

And that is hard work. Work that eventually turns into freedom.

If this is you, I applaud you, see you, and hope that you keep going. 🤍

If insight was enough, you probably wouldn’t feel activated anymore.

One of the most painful parts of attachment healing is being deeply self-aware and still feeling hijacked by your reactions.

Why does this happen? It’s because attachment lives in the nervous system, not your thinking mind (where all that insight now lives).

Your body learned what was safe (and wasn’t) long before you had words for it. And it won’t update those beliefs through logic alone. It needs actual experiences.

This is why so many people say: “I understand myself, but I still don’t feel safe.”

The gap here is biology. And thankfully, where healing can begin.

SAFE was written for the moment when understanding isn’t bringing relief and your nervous system needs something gentler, deeper, and more embodied.

You can learn how to build safety that your body can actually feel. Grab your copy of SAFE in the link in my bio or my commenting the word SAFE.

Will you still get anxious sometimes? Yes, absolutely. But over time, you’ll stop mistaking anxiety for love.

Healing anxious attachment isn’t a perfect, step-by-step linear process. It requires quietly rewiring your nervous system and learning to feel safe in your own body.

It takes turning from believing that closeness with someone else is the only for of safety and learning to hold yourself when activation rises.

In the beginning, calm, quiet moments will feel completely foreign. You’ll likely still crave the highs and lows. But slowly, your body will begin to understand that love can be steady, safe, and still exciting. Yes, even without the chaos.

Real connection is built on safety, starting from within.

Do you want to learn how to build that safety and move from anxiously attached to security?

Comment the word SAFE and I’ll DM you the link to grab a copy of my book, SAFE. Inside, you’ll learn how to build a sense of inner safety that will change how you approach your relationships and move you from anxiously attached to secure.

You’re worthy of peaceful, healthy relationships this year. 🧡

If you’ve ever been love-bombed, you know the high and the crash. There is an initial flood of affection that lights up the same brain circuits as an addictive drug.

And it’s not “just psychological.” There is a large chemical piece to this, that includes dopamine, oxytocin, and adrenaline. These three neurochemicals create a sense of euphoria and safety, especially for nervous systems that once had to earn love (like anxious attachers).

When the love bomber withdraws (they always do), your body goes into a panicked state. It’s normal to crave the intensity you suddenly lost. In fact, your body goes into a withdrawal state from the very chemistry that made you feel so connected to them.

When you take time to heal, you’ll be able to learn to tell the difference between a nervous systems high and genuine safety.

And while calm connection doesn’t always come with intense butterflies, you will have a sense of peace you’ve likely never had before.

If you’ve ever missed someone who hurt you or longed for the intensity you swore you’d never go back to, your body is likely detoxing from a chemical storm.

When you experience something like love bombing or emotionally charged relationships, your brain is flooded with dopamine, oxytocin, and adrenaline. Those neurochemicals create a powerful high that mimics deep attachment, but often isn’t built on safety.

So, when it ends, you don’t only lose the person, but the chemicals that made your nervous system feel alive. That crash can feel like grief, confusion, and sometimes even panic.

When you start to heal, you can teach your body that connection doesn’t have to come with chaos. Instead of peace feeling like emptiness, it can become regulating.

Your nervous system needs to remember what calm feels like.

I’ve been seeming so many posts about 2025 marking the end of a long cycle. Some say 13 years, others say 8 years. Whatever the number, it’s clear something is closing.

For me, 2025 marked the end of my survival patterns running my relationships.

I’ve moved through them, re-enacted them, and slowly grown out of the adapted ways that once kept me safe but no longer serve who I am now. In many ways, 2025 was the year it all came together.

Was it a fun year? Not exactly.

It was more like a year where things finally settled into place. A year where I became fully oriented toward my future with a sense of ease, steadiness, and genuine excitement inside of me.

I recently read a review of Anxiously Attached where someone wished it were more concrete and linear. I understand that longing, but healing doesn’t actually move that way. Attachment healing is a process that’s relational, nervous system based, and unfolds over time as we learn to meet old survival responses in new ways.

This year, I feel like I crossed to the other side of a lot of work. (There’s always room for more healing, but something essential is completed.)

2025 was a year of completion for me.

What was 2025 for you? I’d love to hear about it. 🤍
