    Unmask Anxiety #18 The Hidden Patterns Behind Love & Attachment with Andrea Atherton

    Why do I keep repeating the same relationship patterns? Why do I always lose myself in relationships? Why does love feel so much harder than it should? If you've ever found yourself asking these questions, this episode is for you. In this episode of Unmask Anxiety, I'm joined by psychotherapist, art therapist, mindfulness practitioner and host of the Love Anarchy podcast, Andrea Atherton, for a deep conversation about relationship anxiety, attachment styles, self-love, people pleasing, healthy boundaries, childhood wounds, nervous system regulation and the hidden patterns shaping the way we experience love. Together, we explore why so many of us look to relationships for the love, safety and validation we're searching for, only to find ourselves repeating the same relationship patterns. We dive into how anxiety, attachment styles and childhood conditioning influence the people we're drawn to, why healthy relationships can sometimes feel unfamiliar, and why healing begins by reconnecting with yourself, not by finding the "right" person. If you've ever caught yourself Googling: Why do I keep attracting emotionally unavailable partners? Why do I always lose myself in relationships? Why do I get anxious in relationships? Why do I keep repeating the same relationship patterns? How do I stop people pleasing? How do I heal anxious attachment? Why do I constantly need reassurance? How do I build a healthy relationship without abandoning myself? then this conversation is for you. In this episode, we explore: Why we keep repeating the same relationship patterns. The connection between anxiety, relationship anxiety, your nervous system and the people you're attracted to. Anxious attachment, avoidant attachment and how attachment styles shape adult relationships. Why we often mistake familiarity for love. How childhood experiences and old wounds continue to influence the way we love. Why boundaries are one of the greatest acts of self-love. The difference between looking to someone else for safety and becoming your own source of safety. Practical ways to build healthier, more conscious relationships without losing yourself.

    Unmask Anxiety #17 Anxiety Is Not Your Identity with Lara Dolden

    Have you ever told yourself “I’m just an anxious person”? In this episode of Unmask Anxiety, I’m joined by psychologist and cognitive hypnotherapist Lara Dolden to explore why anxiety is not your identity and what may actually be happening beneath the surface. So often we try to fight anxiety, get rid of anxious thoughts, or learn enough coping tools to keep functioning, but what if anxiety itself was never the real problem? Together we explore how anxiety can become the lens we see ourselves and our lives through, why our minds repeat old patterns and stories, and how anxiety is often a protective response created from past experiences, beliefs, and conditioning. We talk about:• Why anxiety is not who you are• How labels like “I am an anxious person” can shape your identity• The difference between coping with anxiety and truly healing• Why you can understand your anxiety but still feel stuck• The hidden ways anxiety influences your choices, relationships, and dreams• How old beliefs and stories shape what feels possible for your life• Learning to stop fighting yourself and start understanding what your anxiety is trying to show you If you have spent years trying to fix yourself, manage your anxiety, or wondering why you keep repeating the same patterns — this conversation is your reminder that there is nothing wrong with you. Healing is not about staying on the surface and trying to fix the symptoms. It begins when we start understanding what is happening underneath.
