Attachment Theory in Motion: Radical Self-Acceptance, Self-Love, and Self-Compassion: Yoga

If you’ve come here directly from my article, Anxious Hearts: Why You Keep Texting Your Ex at 2am — And How to Stop, you’ve peeled back a little bit of why we behave the way we do, but now we’re on the way to doing something about it. Understanding is only a fraction of the work we need to do to overcome. The first step to healing attachment is self-awareness with compassion. That’s learning to see yourself honestly, realistically, and without guilt or shame.

Which one is correct?

The Research Burrow: Safety, Danger, and How We Experience Relational Cues

Have you ever wondered why two people experience the same relationship and yet behave in completely opposite but predictable ways? It can’t just be basic human difference if the behaviors are predictable, and yet why do some people pull away when others lean in? Or why do some victims of assault fight back and others freeze? Many of us were taught that we have two responses to danger—fight or flight—and yet real-life situations produce reactions that fit into neither category.
