How to Heal Insecure Attachment w/Julie Menanno

March 12, 2025

Joined by special guest, Julie Menanno, our hosts sit down to discuss how to heal insecure attachment by focusing on self-awareness, emotional regulation, and developing a secure relationship with oneself. She emphasizes that attachment wounds manifest through self-abandonment, which leads to unhealthy relational patterns. Healing involves learning to sit with and process difficult emotions rather than seeking external reassurance, shifting from self-protection to self-support. In relationships, individuals must take turns being caregivers for one another, creating an attachment-friendly environment that fosters trust and security.

Listen to learn more about topics like:

  • Self-Abandonment as the Root Issue
  • Emotional Processing Over Quick Regulation
  • Building Secure Attachment with Self
  • Discerning Between Attachment Triggers and Relationship Red Flags
  • and more!
