In this powerful follow-up episode, I'm taking you on a deep dive into the root causes of relationship anxiety. Ever wondered why you push away the very love you're desperate to keep? Or why past relationships seem to haunt your present connections? This episode unravels these mysteries and more.

I'll guide you through:

  • The hidden impact of childhood experiences on your adult relationships (and why those patterns keep repeating)
  • The fascinating world of attachment styles and how they secretly drive your relationship behaviors
  • Real-world examples of how external stressors like finances and health concerns can trigger relationship anxiety
  • The sneaky thought patterns that keep you stuck in an anxiety cycle
  • Why self-compassion might be the missing piece in your relationship puzzle

You won't want to miss this episode if you've ever:

  • Found yourself sabotaging relationships when things get "too good"
  • Noticed patterns of pushing people away or becoming overly clingy
  • Struggled to trust partners due to past betrayals
  • Felt overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts about your relationship
  • Wondered why you keep attracting the same type of partners

Through real stories and practical insights, I'll help you understand not just what's happening in your anxious mind, but WHY it's happening. This understanding is your first step toward breaking free from patterns that block authentic connection.

This is more than just another relationship talk – it's your guide to understanding the deeper "why" behind your relationship fears, and the beginning of your journey toward genuine, anxiety-free love.
