The 3 Biggest Communication Mistakes you’re making if you have an Insecure Attachment Style

Let’s talk about the subtle ways we push people away - even when we don’t mean to.

In this episode, I’m breaking down 3 communication habits that can quietly damage connection, especially if you’ve learned to protect yourself by not being fully honest about what you need.

Here’s what we cover:

Why over-explaining isn’t clarity - it’s a nervous system trying to feel safe
How emotional distance and avoidance can cause resentment and fuel conflict
The sneaky habit of expressing needs through small, surface-level complaints instead of saying what’s really going on

These patterns aren’t about being “bad at communication.” They usually form when it hasn’t felt safe to be direct, or when your needs were ignored or dismissed in the past.

This episode will help you spot the moments you disconnect from your truth and away from healthy communication.
