In this episode of Unf*ck Your Relationship, I dig into the blind spots of anxious attachment, the hidden patterns that keep you stuck in the same cycles, even when you think you've "done the work."

I explain why reflection alone isn't enough, because you can only reflect on what you're consciously aware of.

Blind spots live in the shadows the parts of yourself you deny, repress, or don't even know exist. And until you shine light on those, you'll keep repeating the same patterns in love, friendships, and even business.

Here's what I explore in this episode:

• Your strength as someone with anxious attachment
• The shadow side of that strength
• How failing to hold boundaries often leads to resentment, misplaced blame, and feeling abandoned.
• Why sourcing safety from within not from your partner is the foundation of secure love.
• How building a full life outside of relationships makes you more attractive, grounded, and secure.
• Why pacing yourself in love is crucial to avoiding cycles of clinginess, panic, and destabilisation.

I also share a personal story about noticing when I wanted my partner to uphold a boundary that was actually mine to hold a powerful reminder that no one else can honour your limits for you.

At the heart of this episode, I want you to know: your open heart is a gift.

But your lesson is learning to protect it, pace it, and recognise your value, so you don't hand it over to just anyone without discernment.
