104. How to Release Attachments and Clinging from a Trauma Informed Perspective

In this episode, I explore what it really means to let go—from a nervous system perspective, not just a spiritual one. We’re often told to “detach” or “just let it go,” but when you’re clinging to something for survival—be it a relationship, money, validation, or identity—that kind of advice feels impossible, even cruel.

I share how attachment strategies develop from early childhood experiences, how they shape the way we hold on (often desperately), and what it looks like to gently shift into a place of self-trust and inner safety. This isn’t about bypassing or rushing—it’s about meeting the part of you that’s clinging with compassion, nervous system awareness, and time.

Whether you’re navigating the end of a relationship, a big transition, or just feel stuck in a loop of longing and fear, this episode offers a grounded, embodied path forward.

Top Episode Quotes:

"The part of you that’s clinging was born for a reason—it helped you survive. It’s not wrong. It’s wise."
"Letting go isn’t something we do with our heads—it’s something the body slowly learns to do when it feels safe enough."
"If you’re desperate for something, your nervous system is in a survival state. That’s not weakness. That’s an imprint."
"People feel your nervous system before they hear your words. If you’re in desperation, they’ll feel it—even if you smile through it."
"True release comes when the clinging part of you trusts you more than it trusts the person or thing it’s holding onto."
