When you lean anxious in attachment, even tiny shifts in someone’s tone, timing, or energy can feel like an alarm bell. One “I’m just tired” text can send you spiraling into worst-case scenarios, rereading conversations for clues, and bracing for rejection that isn’t actually happening. It’s exhausting — and it can feel impossible to tell the difference between intuition and anxiety.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why anxious attachment interprets neutral cues as rejection
• How hyperactivation leads to spiraling, overanalysis, and searching for reassurance
• The difference between external regulation and true emotional self-support
• Why even honest reassurance from a partner often doesn’t “stick”
• How to respond when your system floods — even if something is actually wrong
• Rebuilding internal stability so your sense of safety isn’t dependent on someone else’s mood
• Naming your needs directly instead of protesting, clinging, or guessing
• How self-worth, history, and past relational wounds shape your reactions today

You don’t need to abandon your needs to stop spiraling — you just need to learn how to hold them yourself. And from that place, closeness becomes something you can trust, not chase.
