What are the ways you’re tending to your attachment wounds? Today, we continue our series on attachment styles by exploring how healing is possible and how we can move toward a more secure attachment.

Join me, Dr. Laurie Bruce, as we walk through five strategies you can begin practicing daily: attunement, nervous system soothing, imagery, co-regulation, and validation. Small, repeated steps that gently rewire us toward safety.

Because anxious attachment lives in the nervous system, and creating change takes time, patience, and compassionate work.
