Why Do I Overreact in Relationships? Understanding Anxious Attachment & BIG Emotions
About this episode
Are you wondering why anxious attachers have intense reactions that feel out of proportion to the situation?
In this episode, we’re diving into the psychology behind those big emotions and over-the-top responses.
You’ll discover how past memories and unresolved core wounds shape your sense of threat, leaving you feeling vulnerable in relationships. We’ll also explore how your brain’s logical side seems to “go offline” during these triggering moments, making it so hard for you to respond calmly, even though you're trying so hard.
Whether you’re tired of feeling overwhelmed by your own reactions or want to understand the deeper reasons behind them, this episode will give you the insight to understanding and being more compassionate about your situation - that's when change can really happen!
