Are you stuck in the painful in-between wondering if you should stay in your relationship or finally walk away? In this episode, Love Coach Shilpa Cacho sits down with Valerie, an anxious-attachment and somatic healing expert, to unpack one of the hardest questions in love: “Am I giving up too soon or abandoning myself by staying?”
Together, they explore:
💔 The difference between fear-based staying vs. love-based choosing
💫 How to tell if your relationship is toxic, trauma-bonded, or simply unhealed
🧠 Why your nervous system and attachment style keep you stuck in confusion
🌿 The role of somatic work and nervous system regulation in making clear decisions
🔥 How to rebuild self-trust, safety, and intuition after years of self-abandonment
💡 Questions to ask before leaving and what emotional healing really looks like on the other side
If you’ve ever replayed the good times while ignoring red flags, stayed hoping they’ll change, or feared starting over, this conversation will help you reconnect to your truth and make the decision from grounded self-trust, not survival.
