Today is my birthday, and as I get older, things just keep getting better, not because life is perfect, but because I’m more present for it.

Doing the inner and somatic work has slowly shaped me into someone who can be fully seen in my truth, my vulnerability, and my wholeness.

Being 43 feels like freedom. It’s confidence built from walking through the fire and learning that healing is about being real, even in the imperfections. My life isn’t flawless, but it’s deeply mine, and it’s filled with gratitude, humility, and depth.

This image isn’t just about being a psychotherapist or an author. It’s about being a woman, embodied, alive, connected to her sensuality, and at peace with being seen.

I feel more myself than I ever have, more grateful for the anchors that keep me steady, and more alive in my body and my life. 🤍

Thank you to those of you who continue to support me and walk beside me on this journey. I’m so grateful.

What’s something that has gotten better for you as you’ve grown older?

Each attachment style has a unique sensitivity that’s shaped by a person’s past experiences of connection, disconnection, or chaos. What might feel like “no big deal” or manageable to one person can feel like a full-body alarm to another.

This list is to hopefully help you understand why certain dynamics feel so activating to you, not necessarily to label anyone.

You see, when old attachment wounds get triggered, your nervous system automatically moves into familiar protective patterns, like anxiety, withdrawal, shutdown, or mixed signal. These responses aren’t flaws, but learned strategies your body once used to stay safe.

The more awareness and regulation you can build, the less power these triggers hold.

And this list is to hopefully he’ll you learn how to recognize when something js activating an old wound verses a real threat. This is how you can start choosing relationships from safety instead of survival.

Do you want to learn how these patterns formed and how you can create new pathways toward more secure relationships?

11/10/2025

Emotional connection is what can turn a relationship from familiar to safe. When you share your inner world, your feelings, fears, and hopes, your brain releases oxytocin. This is the “bonding” hormone that helps us feel calm, grounded, and seen.

Unfortunately, for many people, that kind of intimacy can feel both deeply desired and threatening at the same time.

You see, your nervous system remembers how safe (or unsafe) it once felt to be vulnerable. So, if opening up feels scary, or if your partner shuts down when you try, your body (or theirs) might be moving to protection mode.

I would love for you to see these questions as an invitation. They are meant to help you gently build a bridge of emotional safety over time by learning each other’s inner worlds through conversation.

To make it feel less like an interrogation, avoid asking them all at once. You don’t even need to get a “deep” answer. Sometimes, just showing interest and listening with curiosity can begin to rewire what connection feels like in your nervous system.

And remember, emotional intimacy is build through consistency, presence, and repair, not perfection. As both partners begin to feel safe, vulnerability starts to feel more like love.

I've seen so many of you comment on posts asking why you can relate to more than one attachment style. Or maybe you took my free quiz and realized you could have easily answered the questions another way and likely received a different answer.

Here's what you need to know: Attachment isn't a fixed label.

Your attachment patterns are based on two things:

1. Your earliest attachments with caregivers
2. Your present-day attachments in relationships

From a neuroscience perspective, attachment lives in your implicit memories, which are the stored emotional and bodily experiences of your earliest relationships. These relationship roadmaps are housed deep within your limbic system and are constantly updating as you experience new relationships.

So, if your earliest relationships taught your nervous system that closeness could feel both comforting and overwhelming, you may move between more anxious and avoidant patterns. Your nervous system adapts.

Instead of trying to find confidence in a specific attachment style, try spending time asking, "What does my nervous system need right now to feel safe in this relationship?"

From there, you can begin the process of becoming more aware, meeting yourself with compassion, and finding ground to walk on to bring more safety and security in your life.

Healing is a courageous process. Every step you take toward wholeness requires you to face what your nervous system once avoided for survival.

It takes courage to slow down when your body still believes productivity and perfection are needed for safety. It takes courage to stay present with sensations that once sparked fear and danger. It takes courage to be seen, to ask for help, and to let love back in.

The work of becoming secure takes returning to yourself again and again with compassion. Your implicit memories, younger parts, shame, and longing all deserve to be held. When safety becomes something you feel in your body instead of something you chase, real growth and healing happens.

Every time you meet yourself with compassion instead of judgment, you're rewiring your nervous system toward connection, which takes courage and is incredibly healing.

The work of becoming secure takes returning to yourself again and again with compassion. Your implicit memories, younger parts, shame, and longing all deserve to be held. When safety becomes something you feel in your body, rather than something you chase, real growth and healing occur.

What if that little voice you here that feelings like, "See, it's happening again," isn't your intuition, but your nervous system...

Core wounds are the deep, often unconscious beliefs that are formed when love or safety was inconsistent and your mind tried to make sense of it. They live in your mind and body, in your heartbeat, breath, and muscles. Core wounds shape how you interpret your partner's tone, a delayed text from a friend, or even a moment of silence in a meeting.

When your partner gets frustrated because you forgot something, your body might instantly tense. Your cold wounds whisper, "See, you are too much. You always mess things up!" Meanwhile, their own wounds might whisper, "I knew I can't trust anyone to show up for me."

This is how two nervous systems, both longing for connection, can miss each other entirely.

The good news is, once you see these patterns, you can begin to soothe them. Healing your core wounds takes learning how to respond to them with compassion, safety, and awareness.

Do you want to learn how? My new book, SAFE, will help you understand how your earliest experiences shaped the way your body and brain connect, so you can build relationships that feel steady, secure, and real.

If you're more securely attached, you might assume that you can stay steady no matter who you're with. And while secure partners often have a higher tolerance for relational stress, the truth is: attachment is a two-way street.

Our nervous systems are designed to co-regulate, which means who you attach to can change how safe or unsafe your body feels in connection.

When a secure partner connects with an avoidant partner, their system may not immediately react. But, over time, if there's emotional distance or a lack of repair, the secure partner's nervous system can begin to register that distance as threat. Their once-steady body might start scanning for cues or disconnection, like a change in tone, slower replies, or less affection, which can trigger more anxious responses that weren't there before.

It doesn't mean you're becoming anxiously attached, but rather that your body is responding to the lack of safety and reciprocity it's accustomed to. Even regulated nervous systems can become dysregulated in environments that don't offer consistent signals of security.

Thankfully, with awareness, communication, and mutual effort, this dynamic can heal. The avoidant partner can learn to stay present without feeling engulfed. The secure partner can hold space without slipping into hypervigilance. And together, they can expand their window of tolerance and create a more interdependent relationship.

That's what my book, SAFE, is about. I want to help you understand the science behind these patterns so you can build relationships rooted in safety instead of survival.

You’re not broken. You’re not too much for needing reassurance. You grew up in a world where love felt uncertain and your nervous system learned to equate distance with danger.

But real love doesn’t disappear just because there is a pause. Your worth isn’t measured by how much someone texts you back, reassures you, or stays constantly available.

Healing anxious attachment isn’t about needing less, it’s about learning you’re safe in love, even in the spaces in between. 💜

Every nervous system has its own escape hatch...

Avoidants pull away, and the anxiously attached often pull closer. Meanwhile, they're both saying the same thing: "I don't feel safe right now."

When your body senses a threat, whether it's rejection, overwhelm, or emotional intensity, it activates the protection strategies you learned a long, long time ago. Your heart rate changes, your breathing shifts, and your brain starts going into survival mode.

The avoidant partner finds safety in distance. The anxious partner finds safety in connection. Both of their nervous systems learned to cope this way.

When you start healing, you'll begin to notice when your body wants to escape and learn how to stay present just a little longer each time. That's how safety is built: slowly, through awareness, co-regulation, and repetition.

Why are you attracted to the same type of person? Because your brain is following a map it created a long, long time ago.

When you were little, your nervous system learned what "connection" felt like physiologically. So, if connection with your caregivers came with inconsistency, tension, or distance, your body learned to associate those sensations with love.

Now, when you meet someone who recreates those sensations, your body lights up. They likely feel magnetic, safe, and familiar, but only because it's known to your very nervous system.

Your nervous system isn't looking for joy but recognition. It wants to finish a story it didn't get to finish and master an old wound through a new character.

The best news is that you can teach your brain and body something new through neuroplasticity (your brain's ability to form new neural connections). Through this process, you can teach your nervous system that safety and stability are not the same as boredom.

And my new book, SAFE, is the guide you need to build safety within your body so you stop repeating the past and start creating love that truly nourishes you.

What many of us call chemistry is often our nervous system recognizing something familiar, not necessarily something that's safe. You see, if you grew up around inconsistent, unpredictable caregivers, your body learned that heightened emotion meant connection.

Your amygdala, the brain's threat detector, wires closeness to danger and distance to relief. So, when you meet someone today who activates that same pattern, your nervous system lights up to its familiarity. It feels like home.

Real safety, however, likely will feel foreign at first. It's steady, calm, and less consuming, so it doesn't flood you, but grounds you instead. And, honestly, it's likely going to feel boring and weird at first. But what's really happening is your nervous system is finally exhaling, likely for the first time.

If that new relationship feels calm, don't run from the strangeness of it. You might actually be experiencing genuine safety for the first time.
