To Heal Your Fearful Avoidant Attachment, Start by Understanding Your Triggered State
In the last video, we explored Tool #1 — recognizing how our mind constantly assigns meaning to everything that happens to us, especially in moments of disappointment or boundary violations. Now, we’re moving into Tool #2: questioning the automatic, often painful stories our mind tells us when we’re triggered. ✨ Golden Rule #1 of the subconscious mind: An unquestioned thought is treated as 100% true. This rule is at the heart of healing the Fearful Avoidant (FA) attachment style. When we get triggered, it's often because our subconscious is using an old, painful explanation to make sense of a present moment — explanations like “I’m not important,” “I’m unworthy,” or “Nobody cares.” These beliefs may have helped us survive in the past, but now they keep us stuck. This week, we practice catching those stories and asking: 1. What is my mind telling me about this situation? 2. Can I be 100% sure that’s true? 3. What else could be true? 4. What would be a more realistic and less painful explanation? Remember: 50% of healing is awareness and knowledge — and the other 50% is consistent, compassionate practice. Let’s start rewiring those narratives together. 🧠💛
