If you often find yourself worrying that your partner is going to leave you, you aren't irrational—you might just have an anxious attachment style. And if you're among the one in five adults with anxious attachment style, you're probably extra sensitive to signs of emotional danger in a relationship.
In this episode, Dr. Stephen Snyder explains how relationship anxiety operates and why a natural sensitivity to emotional danger can accidentally trigger self-sabotaging \"protest behaviors\" (like spam-texting or freezing your partner out). Shifting the focus away from trying to \"fix\" yourself, Dr. Snyder shares four practical strategies to help you accept your needs, look for a partner who can provide genuine security, and learn to co-manage your anxiety for a stronger, healthier bond.
