You know how it goes. The multiple texts in a row while waiting for a response. The sulking to see if they notice. The fight that started over them looking at their phone, because it symbolised all the times you've felt neglected by them. The "I'm fine" when you know you aren't. The passive aggressive remarks (a personal favourite of mine). The ultimatums that neither of you really believe.
These are all protest behaviours, and they're what happens when your attachment system perceives that the relationship is under threat and takes matters into its own hands.
The cruel irony? They tend to create the very disconnection you're so desperately trying to prevent.
You can feel yourself doing it.
You know it doesn't help.
But you just can't seem to stop.

WHO'S TEACHING?
In case we haven't met, my name is Stephanie Rigg. I'm a relationship coach, writer, and host of On Attachment, which is the world's leading podcast on attachment theory and how it shapes our relationships.
My teachings on attachment have helped millions all over the world (and over 6,500 students in my online programs). But even more than that, I used to be (very) anxiously attached too — so I know exactly what you're going through.
In this workshop, I'm going to help you understand the "why" behind your anxious behaviours with clarity and compassion — so you can take back the reins and start showing up to your relationships as your most secure self.
