COURSE
Heal Anxious Attachment: Embody Security, Confidence & Self-Love (Part 2)
With Orit Krug
Have you researched endlessly about Anxious Attachment? Do you understand why you have an intense fear of abandonment in romantic relationships? Do you continue to repeat the same unhealthy patterns anyway? This is common. You may be deeply aware of why you have an Anxious Attachment style and how you’re “supposed to” change it. But in practice, you just can’t seem to shift it. Since attachment is formed in the first 2 years of life, our styles are set PRE-VERBALLY through touch, smell, posture, gestures, and other body movements. The way we remember a caregiver being aggressive may be through their accelerated advancement towards us, or the way they forcefully picked us up when we refused to listen. We do not remember WHAT they said when they made us feel unsafe. We do not know the exact words they used. We remember, non-verbally, the visual picture and bodily sensation that we experienced when they walked away while we were crying and begging for attention. Our bodies remember. This is why so many people struggle to heal their anxious attachment patterns. Because they are trying to change it with words or verbal information; but as preverbal children, we did not form our anxious attachment style in words. We formed them with our bodies. It may be helpful to talk about your anxiety in therapy, repeat affirmations for feeling secure, or journal about your thoughts. However, these cognitive-based techniques are not enough to shift anxious attachment into secure attachment. The body must adopt a new way. Neural pathways must be rewired in the non-verbal brain, so we can stay present and respond instead of react. We must learn how to literally move in ways that lead to more security (i.e., keeping eye contact and leaning in for a hug even while we have debilitating anxiety about getting hurt). Movement is where true change begins. If you truly want to heal the wounds that feed your anxious attachment patterns, then you must engage your body in a process that allows your entire physical being to feel secure in all types of relationships and interactions. In this course, you’ll be introduced to this movement-based process and start to feel some of the embodied shifts that are necessary to truly heal anxious attachment.

Beautiful course. Very helpful learning about my behaviours & what’s driving them, then to experience them, & healthier alternative options, in my body.

This was my first time with somatic therapy techniques and it feels like I have found a missing piece of my self-knowledge and self-love. I look forward to practicing more. Thank you Orit!

This is another great course from Orit who presents the learnings in a clear and relatable way which helps your mind to easily understand how this relates to you. Criticality she then leads your body through movement meditation to help embody and integrate the learnings so your body believes it. The course has helped identify things to work on with me anxious attachment which has seen improvements in my relationship with my partner already.

You are award winning. I will be revisiting this class as a continual practice. I can't believe I found something so helpful. The is breakthrough territory for me. I never knew movement could be useful for this. I am excited to move forward.

I will be go through the course several more times to reinforce my learning and remind myself of the steps I need to continue to take and practice. This course and your presentation has given me what I need to take the next steps in my life and relationship. Thank you 🥰

Absolutely amazing! The best course I’ve taken on insight. I don’t enjoy doing courses more than once but this one is an exception. So much information provided in a concise and easy to understand format. Orit provides actionable ways to connect with yourself now and in the future when anxious tendencies arise. Years of therapy and lots of $$ could have been saved if I would have heard this sooner. However I do believe that everything is presented at a time when you are ready, so who knows if this would have resonated in the same way years ago. No matter where you are in your journey this is time well spent either in understanding yourself or possibly a partner a little more. I will also use these tools in parenting as my anxious attachment spills over in my relationship with my young kids. This was truly a gift. Thank you!

As a counselor and teacher, being in this space can sometimes bring shame, blocking my ability to help myself or make sense of what I am experiencing in ways that are productive. Thank you for walking me through this and assisting me in showing up as I would like to in my relationships with friends and lovers.

Loved part two just as much as part one. I needed this course and Im so grateful tk have these new insights. The most impactful section for me was the meditation going back and forth between attachment sensations versus love sensations in the body. This is a tool I will continue to use daily. Thanks again!!!
