When Love Feels Like a Threat: Healing Anxious Attachment
What if the ache you feel in love isn’t insecurity, but a survival response?
In this episode of The Voyage Cast, Eddie unpacks the painful reality of anxious attachment: when love feels more like holding your breath than exhaling. From the spiral of “Do they still care?” to the deep nervous system wiring behind your need for reassurance, this conversation peels back the emotional layers of why closeness can feel both sacred and terrifying.
You’ll learn:
– What anxious attachment really is (and why it’s not your fault)
– How it shows up in texts, silence, spirals, and relationships
– The four core attachment styles and how they shape intimacy
– Real, daily practices for rewiring how you give and receive love
– What it means to love someone with anxious attachment, without losing yourself
This episode isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about learning to breathe again in relationships. To stop chasing love and start feeling safe in it.
