I believe that we can all overcome loneliness and fulfill our own emotional needs, even with anxious attachment. This doesn’t mean that there are huge benefits to having a support network, but when we are able to look after ourselves these networks become stronger and more meaningful.

Learning to self-soothe is one way that we can prevent loneliness and develop self-trust after a breakup. I have been on a personal journey with building this muscle over the last several years and know how life-changing it can be. In today’s episode, I discuss:

-What it means to self-soothe

-How self-soothing relates to your attachment style and moving from an insecure attachment to a secure attachment style

-My experience learning how to self-soothe

-How self-soothing strengthens your friendships

-Beginner’s tips

You’ve got this!
