The Hardcore Therapist 115.5- Why Do I Panic When Someone I Love Pulls Away? Understanding Attachment Panic + Tools to Self-Regulate

 In today’s episode of The Hardcore Therapist, I breaks down one of the most common relationship struggles: the panic that hits when someone you love pulls away — even just a little. If you’ve ever gone into fight, flight, freeze, or frantic texting mode when a partner goes quiet, this episode will help you understand what’s really happening inside your brain and body.

We explore:

• How attachment patterns make distance feel dangerous
  
  
  
• The neuroscience behind panic and “rejection alarms”
  
  
  
• Why your nervous system reacts before your thoughts do
  
  
  
• How this pattern affects relationships
  
  
  
• And three powerful in-the-moment regulation tools you can use to calm your body and reconnect with clarity
