Lessons in (Anxious) Attachment

Lessons in (Anxious) Attachment is the podcast for people who are still struggling with overthinking, anxious attachment patterns, or chasing unavailable partners...even though you understand the theory.

With a lifetime of personal experience and over 15 years of professional experience, I (Carly Ann) am here to help you move beyond just knowing the logic of attachment and actually start applying it to create real change.

You should know, my podcast isn’t about getting your ex back or making your partner fix your anxiety. Lessons in Attachment is about empowering you to become your own coach - using attachment theory, third-wave CBT techniques, and practical tools to transform your daily life.

We dive deep into life-changing topics, so be sure to take care of yourself along the way. This is the podcast that helps you finally shift your attachment style and stop letting worry control your life

Thank you, Carley Ann and team. I need help. I have an anxious/preoccupied attachment in my 2nd marriage. Behaviors established from early childhood traumas. My husband has been married 2 times before me. I do not believe he is healed or even over his 2nd wife. She had an affair and they divorced 6 years ago. He and I dated for 2 years and have been married 1 year. He states frequently that he would not be wasting his time if he didn't love me by just staying with me. He also has lots of childhood trauma that is still evident in his life. He looks at his ex-wife's FB page more than I'm comfortable with and doesn't know I know this. I feel like I walk on egg shells a lot just to keep the peace. However, I just now want to live in peace and non-judgment. There's so much more that I could elaborate on on my side; just truly need to know how to move forward. Thank you for your support and guidance. Aimee Hawkins-Hewitt
