Candice Tamara is a trauma-informed relationship and self-concept coach who helps driven, anxiously attached individuals become secure in love. After healing from a deeply traumatic childhood and years of anxious attachment, Candice transformed their inner world, rewired their identity, and became the secure version of themselves they once thought was impossible. They have now helped hundreds of people break anxious/avoidant patterns, regulate their nervous system, and create deeply secure, emotionally available relationships, without chasing love or abandoning themselves. Candice is the creator of the Candice Tamara Secure Method™, a transformational process that blends attachment healing, subconscious reprogramming, EFT tapping, nervous system work, and the Law of Assumption to create rapid, lasting change. They are also the host of the F*CK TRAUMA Podcast, where they teach listeners how to shift their self-concept, step into secure love, and become the version of themselves who is chosen, supported, and deeply valued.
