How to Heal Attachment Wounds

How to Heal Attachment Wounds

In this heartfelt and eye-opening conversation, Leann Herron (transformation coach for women) is joined by Lisa Anzaldua (psychotherapist, spiritual coach, and neurodiverse couples counselor) to explore the roots and ripple effects of attachment wounds—the emotional injuries that often stem from unmet needs, emotional neglect, or inconsistent caregiving in early life.

Lisa breaks down what attachment wounds are and how they form, explaining how they can leave deep emotional imprints that shape how we relate to others, especially in Cassandra relationships and neurodiverse partnerships, where chronic misattunement and misunderstanding can reopen old wounds.

Together, Leann and Lisa dive into:

How attachment wounds manifest in adulthood—through anxiety, avoidance, or emotional dysregulation in relationships

The unique challenges neurodiverse couples face in building connection and safety

How tools from Inner Child Work and Internal Family Systems (IFS) can help us access, validate, and heal wounded parts of ourselves

What secure attachment actually feels like in the body—calm, consistent, and safe

Lisa offers practical, compassionate guidance for anyone navigating old emotional injuries in current relationships, especially those wondering why certain patterns keep repeating no matter how much they "work on themselves."

Key Insight: “You can’t heal attachment wounds with logic alone—you have to bring your body, your nervous system, and your inner parts into the process.” – Lisa Anzaldua
