Why You Chase People, Validation, and Certainty: The Pattern of Anxious Attachment

If you’ve ever found yourself overthinking texts, craving constant reassurance, or panicking when someone pulls away—even just a little—this episode is for you. In today’s conversation, we’re unpacking anxious attachment not just in love, but as a life pattern: one that shapes how you show up in relationships, friendships, work, and even with yourself.

We walk through five core patterns of anxious attachment, including why you chase people, validation, and certainty—and how to begin gently breaking the cycle. This isn’t about “fixing” yourself. It’s about understanding where these patterns come from, how they protect you, and how to build real safety from within.

You’ll walk away with practical mindset shifts, somatic tools, and journal-worthy questions that help you pause, ground, and respond from self-respect—not panic.

If you’ve ever been told you’re “too much” or felt like you had to perform emotional ease to stay connected… this one will land deep.
