YOU’RE NOT CHOOSING WRONG ON PURPOSE

You’re Following a Blueprint You Didn’t Know You Had

The patterns that keeps showing up in your relationships aren’t random. They’re rooted in attachment wounds—the early experiences that shaped how you give and receive love. Your nervous system is pulling you toward what feels familiar, not what’s healthy. But once you see the pattern, you can change it.

PATTERNS WE HELP WITH

If This Sounds Like You

You get attached too fast

You meet someone and feel an instant, intense connection. You’re all in before you even know them. Then it falls apart, and you’re left wondering what happened.

You confuse intensity with love

The drama, the push-pull, the emotional highs and lows—it feels like passion, But deep down, you know it’s chaos. You want calm, but calm feels boring

You’re drawn to emotionally unavailable people

They’re hot and cold. They pull away when you get close. You keep trying to earn their love, but it never feels secure. You know it’s not healthy, but you can’t seem to stop.

You’re terrified of abandonment

You panic when they don’t text back. You read into everything. You need constant reassurance. The fear of being left makes you cling tighter—and push them away.

You push people away when they get too close

Things are going well, then you feel suffocated. You need space. You pull back. You sabotage good relationships because intimacy feels scary. You want connection, but when you get it, you run.

You lose yourself in the relationship

You over-give. You ignore your own needs. You betray your boundaries trying to keep the peace. By the time it ends, you don’t even recognize yourself anymore.

You stay too long

You see the red flags. You know it’s not working. But you keep hoping it will change. You stay until you’re completely drained, then wonder why you didn’t leave sooner.

HEALING ATTACHMENT WOUNDS

What We Do Together

This isn’t couples therapy. This isn’t dating coaching. This is inner healing work—understanding the blueprint that’s been running relationships and learning how to rewrite it.

Understand your attachment wounds

We help you see how early relationships shaped your sense of safety and love. You’ll understand why you’re drawn to certain people and why certain patterns keep repeating. This isn’t about blame—it’s about clarity.

Learn what healthy love actually feels like

If you grew up with chaos or neglect, healthy love can feel unfamiliar—even boring. We help you recognize what safety, respect, and reciprocity actually look like so you can choose it.

Slow down your attachment system

When you meet someone, your nervous system can go into overdrive. We teach you how to pause, check in with yourself, and make conscious choices instead of reacting from old wounds.

Rebuild your self-worth

Unhealthy relationship patterns erode your sense of self. We help you reconnect with your values, set boundaries, and trust your intuition again. You learn to choose yourself first.

WHAT HEALING CAN CHANGE

Learning What Healthy Love Looks Like

After a few months of therapy, clients tell us things like:

You feel calm, not chaotic

You’re not constantly anxious about where you stand. You don’t need constant reassurance. You can breath. Relationships feel grounding, not destabilizing.

You trust your intuition

You notice red flags early and actually listen to them. You don’t override your gut to give someone “one more chance.” You trust yourself to make good choice.

You choose differently

You’re no longer drawn to emotionaly unavailable people. You recognize healthy, secure partners—and you don’t self-sabotage when you meet them. You break the cycle.
