Welcome to The Anxious Attachment Solution. In today’s episode, we’re exploring how to extract wisdom from your anxious attachment triggers — and how doing so helps you take your power back.

We often see anxious attachment as a curse. We label ourselves broken. We replay stories about how it’s ruined relationships or made us “too much.” But what if your anxious attachment isn’t pointless pain? What if it’s a teacher?

A mentor once told me she refuses to go through pain without gaining something from it. She always looks for the gold. That mindset shifted everything for me. Instead of hating my anxious attachment — which only deepened my suffering — I began asking: What is this here to teach me?

When we stay in a victim story (“Life isn’t fair,” “I’ll always be this way,” “Nothing ever works for me”), we give our power away. Our brain prefers familiar pain over unfamiliar growth. That’s why change feels harder than staying stuck. But just because a thought is automatic doesn’t mean it’s true.

Anxious attachment has taught me: • How my nervous system responds to fear • How to regulate and create safety • How to communicate my needs • How to separate thoughts from facts • How to take responsibility for my healing • How to love myself

It showed me the little girl inside who needed validation and care — and that I can give that to her now. It taught me that I’m not broken. I’m wired for connection. And I can learn security.

When I stopped resenting my anxious attachment, I stopped fighting myself. I started extracting wisdom instead of just pain. I began asking powerful questions: What is this teaching me? What strength is this building? What belief needs updating?

The greatest gift anxious attachment gave me was learning how to love myself — which finally allowed me to receive love fully in my marriage.

Your triggers aren’t pointless. They’re information. They’re invitations. What if you decided to find the gold?
