Why do some adults chew pens when anxious, obsess over order, or constantly crave attention? Freud called it fixation, when part of us gets emotionally stuck in childhood stages of development.

In this episode, we explore:

• What fixation really means.

• How unmet needs in childhood echo into adult habits

• The subtle ways fixation shapes our relationships, work, and coping styles

• Practical steps to recognize and gently move past old patterns

If you’ve ever wondered why certain habits or behaviors feel hard to shake this episode might just give you the “aha” moment you need.
