From Anxious to Secure: Healing Attachment Wounds & Regulating Your Nervous System

Do you find yourself waiting for the other shoe to drop in relationships? Constantly bracing for disappointment?

In this episode of The Road Leads Back to Me, Coral breaks down what anxious attachment really is — where it comes from, how betrayal trauma and emotional ruptures shape it, and why transactional love keeps your nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight.

She dives into:
• Why anxious attachment isn’t a life sentence
• How unhealthy dynamics erode self-worth
• The role of betrayal trauma
• How to stop seeking reassurance from the wrong person
• Nervous system regulation in relationships
• What secure attachment actually feels like
• How to challenge intrusive thoughts
• The power of accountability and repair

If you’ve ever felt clingy, hypervigilant, jealous, or like you’ve lost yourself in love — this episode will help you understand why.

Healing is possible. Secure love is possible. And it starts with remembering that you are worthy of love and belonging.
