Why do breakups hurt SO much more when you have an anxious attachment style?

If you’ve been stuck in a breakup spiral, thinking about them 24/7, scrolling through old messages, checking their social media, and replaying every single moment in your head… you’re not alone.

 

But here’s the truth:

if you have an anxious attachment style, heartbreak isn’t just heartbreak. It feels like withdrawal. It feels like you’ve lost your safety net, your home, your EVERYTHING.

 

And there’s a reason for that. In this episode, I’m breaking down the 10 reasons why breakups hit so hard for someone with an anxious attachment style and it’s not because you’re weak or “too much.” It’s because your brain and your body are literally wired to react this way.

 

✨ Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode: ✅ Why your nervous system feels like it’s in survival mode after a breakup ✅ Why you keep replaying every text and conversation (and blaming yourself) ✅ Why it feels like you can’t breathe without their reassurance ✅ Why it’s not “just missing them” but an actual addictive loop your brain is stuck in ✅ The REAL reason you feel shattered when they don’t give you closure

If you’ve ever wondered: “Why does it hurt THIS much?” “Why can’t I just move on?” “Why do I keep obsessing and overthinking months later?”

…then this episode is for YOU.

Because when you understand what’s REALLY going on inside you, you can finally stop blaming yourself-and start healing for real.

 

Listen now and tell me in the comments which one of these reasons hit the hardest for you.

Because healing doesn’t start in the moment you spiral. It starts in the micro-moments you live every day.
