Have you ever felt like you want to be close to someone more than anything—

and yet, at the same time, you feel panicky and overwhelmed of getting close?

Like part of you craves intimacy… while another part is scanning for the first sign of betrayal, rejection, or abandonment?

It's because —especially early trauma—shapes the way we attach, connect, and even perceive safety and danger in others.

In today’s episode, we’re going to break this down together:

What is the core symptom behind interpersonal instability?

How does trauma fundamentally rewire the way we attach to others?

And how can you start managing those overwhelming emotional reactions in relationships without losing yourself
