1) "Be aware of your emotions but never make a decision in the height of your emotions." + Acknowledging that there is a version of yourself that can return to a calmer, more emotionally regulated place. 2) Recognize your attachment wound for what it is. Nothing deeply wrong with you. Knowing you are capable of connecting with people. Knowing you're not a bad person for the bad behavior in relationships at times. "I can be trusted. You can be trusted. I'm okay. You're okay." 3) No fear/triggering when others express emotional vulnerability.

This video is literally life changing for me. I never knew WHY i git triggered by vulnerability of others. I get reeeally weirded and grossed out by it in some situations. Also, explaininh that i am actually capable of love and not flawed is a game changer. I always believed i was just not capable of it in romantic relationships. I never understood myself at all. Suddenly getting super insecure or super cold and distant in relationships...i really really started hating myself because i didnt want to be that way. But that's not me, thats the attachment issue. It isn't ME. 😭🙏

This turned my world upside down! I felt I emotionally hit bottom. Finding your videos....has helped me. Saved me. I am officially dating myself. I am for once in a long time.. whole.

I am happy for you! :) But for a while I thought too that I became secure during my healing journey. I was way better in managing emotions and the health of non-romantic relationships, however those did not really reach that deep emotional intimacy level so my fearful avoidant pendulum didnt start to swing between my Avoidant and ANxious sides. it went dormant. Well, when I got into one, it started again. Sadly i was not aware of it 1st, but after the breakup I knew what happened to me. I returned to my patterning. My advice as a random commenter, just be mindful about it. See the early signs and trust yourself! I know now, that's what im doing...

Recognizing when i am having an emotional experience and expressing it in an appropriate way. In the past, I would bottle things up, or rationalize the scenario but never acknowledge that i was affected by said action. I am now able to recognize the emotional state and clearly express it in a appropriate manner where both parties are able to have their needs met. I no longer blow up and/or cut and run. I can observe when i am activated and take a time out. I am now at a place where i can tame the urge to react, create space, and revisit when i am emotionally stable. Thank you for the content you are creating. Your videos are providing tools and insight for me to reprogram and tap into my full potential.

Just starting this and have to say: I LOVE that you go deep and get expansive. And I HATE the more soundbyte kind of information that is slapping you in the face literally everywhere you look and don't look. So the first minute of this video actually breaks my heart. I know succinct is not always superficial - but it sure risks it. And it kind of precludes taking people along for the riff and the ride - which I feel you absolutely shine at for me. I draw SO much out of it. I mean, some people want only the Cliff Notes and punch lines... but, honestly, they get catered to up the wazoo. We are losing the capacity to think through entire problems or systems and are all about the quick fix. I mean - if you want to speak to both, maybe start your video by saying: this is the topic, these seem to be the take-home points and conclusions - and this is how I got there if you want to join me for the scenic tour. I don't want to miss out on ANY of your thoughts or meanderings. None of them.

This was very validating and encouraging 😁❤️ I find personifying the two different attachment patterns in my mind and letting them have their say without fearing/rejecting them to be helpful. I guess that ties into being able to recognize them as strategies instead of who you are, but it's really cool to be able to place yourself in the observer position and watch it play out inside of you. You still absolutely feel all the emotions that come with being triggered, but you don't get lost in them. Also, being able to recognize that you're triggered in the moment, communicate it to the person you're talking to and ask for however much time you need to self-regulate. More often than not, the realization comes afterwards. So, being able to do it in real-time every now and again is pretty awesome.

I find these immensely useful as someone not yet in “stage 2 or 3” because it gives me a guideline for what to do now that I’m trying to take this attachment style and myself seriously. You clearly state the behaviors before and then what’s being done as an improvement, along with an end goal, which is amazing as I don’t ever hear what to do about how I’m feeling. It’s usually just me knowing I am this way, kinda reasoning that it boils down to my personality, and then criticizing myself for being that way. Love this, definitely keeping these pointers in mind so I can eventually say I’m in the process of effectively healing :) thank you!

When our style becomes our "beliefs", it's more difficult to heal. At this point I actually believe being self-reliant is a sign of Sovereignty, so when I see others playing the victim, I'm really turned off. I can consciously realize that everyone is allowed their own way of being, but right now I still "believe" it's better to be more aware that your life is your responsibility and not to blame others. I've got rewiring to do.

I wouldn’t choose this if I could. And knowing that I would not choose this reaction but it is mere conditioning from the past really sooths me!

This is gold! We need more of this content! We struggle to change when we only get a few vague or “meme-y” bullet point that feel like “aha” moments, producing a lot of dopamine and feelings of elation, but then doesn’t actually help dig out the roots of the dysfunction or model real-world change. Please, Do NOT try to cut down on your words simply because of people’s waning attention span and KZitem algorithms. Your words, plus all the details and how they interact to form an experience, are important. We need these descriptions not as an overview, but to arrive in our consciousness as intimately and detailed as we are in our own minds, as detailed as our emotions and internal dialogue is, because that’s how we experience it. The human brain works on contrast, right? We only know pain in comparison to peace, hot in comparison to cold, up in comparison to down. We need both the dysfunctional model in detail as well as a functional model in detail, so that we can examine both and finally have the choice of which one to practice. It is then that we can heal lighting-fast. For this reason, I’ve been working on producing “maps” of the landscape of personal growth, tying together psychological models with neuroscience and descriptions of experience with feelings and thoughts, and what not to do as well as what to do. I’ve spent 30 years studying neuroscience, trauma healing, psychology, etc, as well as healing myself. What I’ve seen is that most people don’t heal until they either hear a million things they relate to (which are semantic needles in a haystack), plus they experience new things (which takes time and the opportunity), OR … they get a full picture of the dysfunctional model that empowers them to track down their own wounds, as well as a functional model to compare it to, and for the first time in their life they see clearly that there is an option, and can exercise choice, allowing the PFC enough data to create enough dopamine and new neural connections to override trigger-state much faster. We need these full mental models to be able to understand the depth and breadth of the dysfunction and all its attached beliefs and behaviors and cultural threads. I’d love to hear you go on for hours because your many words are helpful to fill in the blanks!

I’ve studied psychology/attachment for years (unofficial degree) and you organize and deliver info in a unique way that simply works (and thus, helps)! Many major lasting ahas. You also provide full mental meals, not just snacks. (That said, this snack was super nutritious.) My ahas: not so much FA as previously thought, but my external critic (Resentment projected as judgement, oh my! 😮) is on fire trying to enforce some weird toddler rules.

Super-helpful, thank you. And for me the 3rd rationale is not as you describe. As a fearful-avoidant I was just recently triggered in my wanting to run. Not because I could not tolerate the other to express what I cannot, but because of an intense sense of responsibility for the other's vulnerability. My inner child is very worried that she will be unequipped and overwhelmed to support them, and possibly even trigger or harm them while they are low.

So this sounds like: If you first experienced secure style in childhood and then had some trauma, it seems possible styles can change to insecure ones or the other way round: First having insecure style and then healing. It depends on the self learning, being aware, communicating, regulating plus it depends on the patience, compassion, strengths and understanding of people you are with. Its interesting to see that some results of the attatchmentstyle-tests are displayed in the different percentages of those styles. In some cases not too much accurate, but nice making people think about themselves, not that much about the result, but because selfawareness is better key. Thanks much for going deep, very insightful, this might help also understanding some behavior of family members as well for people who had traumatic experiences.

Secondly, your point about being deeply triggered by people displaying emotional vulnerability..i’m not one to do so, but I once was triggered by a higher up at work when he shared a vulnerability that I identified so closely with, it felt overwhelming and I shut down the conversation. I’ve never responded like that to a situation when someone’s being vulnerable with me. Ask anyone that knows me and they’ll say my strong suit is being an empath. Ironically, I was attracted to this person. I’ve learned my avoidant side comes out when I’m at the verge of caring Too Much in professional work relationships… Please keep making insightful videos like these!

Circle of security reframes the resentment projection model "im not allowed so youre not allowed" to a protection model - ie im protecting "us" from the pain and rejection i felt as a child.

Great video, thanks for the great content! The underlying problem you highlight in your #3 here, wow, that's been me for as far back as I can remember (I genuinely thought this was just a me thing, I've never encountered anyone who understood that side of me before, it's strange to see someone talking about an aspect of myself that seems so unique to me, as if it's totally normal and commonplace for people of a certain type of attachment style). But for me it's not just for feelings of vulnerability, but for most feelings in general. When I'm around people and they're not all maintaining an emotionally neutral state, or somewhere close to it, and their also not attempting to avoid veering far from neutral, then I'm on edge and waiting to go into flight or freeze mode (which is why I've mostly chosen to avoid being around other people as much as possible, because it's an exhausting state to be in). I've had Alexithymia (I'm totally blind to my own emotions) for as long as I can remember, and it seems to make sense to me now that these two things are linked, maybe the attachment style caused it (altho it could just be that I was born w/ it, I can't necessarily rule that out). I've been working on quieting that outer critic, trying to become ok w/ others having/expressing feelings around me, and have made some progress there, but it still seems I have a long way to go. It seems like I've split the problem in two, and worked on one half of it; I've convinced myself intellectually that it's ok for others to have and express emotions, but on the values side I'm still judging them harshly (because I see it as bad/wrong/weak for them to not have better control of themselves). I'm open to any tips anyone might have for working on the values side of it.

I've just had a big breakthrough that pushed me into Stage 3 and this was very validating to hear. I'm proud of my progress and I'm proud of everyone else here who is working on their attachment issues!

Hi there! Love your videos! I have been an avoidant attachment style my entire life. I’m now in my 40’s with so many failed previous relationships. I’ve recently began a relationship with a man I’ve known for many many years. He’s asked me many times to just “let him in” or “lower my walls for him” and I have slowly allowed myself to become more and more intimate with him and we’re building what so far feels like a great trusting relationship. This man as I said we’ve known each other for years, through previous relationships on both sides. So I know what he’s been through and he knows what I have as well. But my concern is, now that I’ve opened up to him and let him in, I feel like I’ve now formed an anxious attachment to him. To where I don’t want him to ever leave. I can’t see myself without him. And it’s making me wonder if I’m just swapping one negative attachment for a new one. And it makes me pull back some days. And he will notice and call me out on it. But is this normal? How do I go from this to a stable trusting, relaxed attachment to a man. One who I don’t have children with, who I have zero plans to have children with. One who once the relationship ends there’s nothing tying us together so it would be a true breakup and move on. And how do I trust myself to know that when that happens I’ll be ok to handle it appropriately…🤯🤯🤯❤

The book "the mental game of poker" explains unconscious incompetence to unconscious competence. Great book.

This is all really good. I came from a really good, stable family but am dyslexic and was painfully shy growing up so I had very low-self esteem from doing poorly in school. I was so shy and unsure of myself I got rejected probably 30 times in my 20's which really took a toll. However, I ended up doing really great with my career, came out of my shell and have had some really wonderful women really like me, but I had moved from fearful avoidant into avoidant and would reject anyone once I realized they really liked me as my feelings would just be gone only to return months later. I think I am really close to being secure now but I still have some of those old messages that pop up especially in early dating. Now I am much better, feel quite good about myself but can still get triggered. However, like you said I am better at not responding to anything until I calm down so I feel like I am getting really close now to where I need to be. At least I am aware now that if the feelings go away, it's likely a trauma response so I know I should stick with them and try to work through things to see if the feelings return.

It is sooo fascinating that I got into that topic, that you talk about! It is soooo fascinating because I find myself partly in the fearful avoidant attachment style. And I always thought, ok I just trust my intuition, when I feel soo good to finally break up and go my own way. I always felt so free and myself and thought, well I am free that makes so much sense, I love to be free and do what I want. But also I questioned myself, what is going on in my subconcious that I make exact these decisions now. And I thought, I just have no idea, something might be going on, but I just have nooo access but someday I might find out. And now I feel like I'm slowly finding that out. OMG. That's such a big thing, that there are theories to my experiences, not just my strange inner experience all the time that I'm confronted with and just trying to work with it in the quiet and thinking thats just who I am. Wow wow wow

That sounds a lot like what I thought. I was aware that I hold trauma, but I couldn't say which attachment style I was. In this video I recognized the "I am bad, others are bad" thing, and the disorienting feeling, not to know what to do. I usually tried to ignore that I felt very stressed, because I couldn't handle it. Until to a point where I started to numb out. I'm still confused, but I think I get somewhere bit by bit.

@@Madamekittylein So special. Yes it’s so interesting. 🙏🏼 Thank you for sharing. Ja, I have a feeling, the best I can do is just let it come, let process, let it be there, observer and things will unfold at the right timing.

I appreciate Heidi‘s long, in depth recordings. This shorter one was useful but, prefer the more fleshed out format Heidi usually does.

7.30 It is actually true that maaany people exaggerate to "get their way", and "use that" against others, for their own (seeming) benefit. Narcs, borderlines, and even "normal" people. Including APs, anxious avoidants. Your videos are the consistently best I've seen on the matter. THX

For me, I don't feel like I experience resentment towards people showing emotional vulnerability, but I definitely experience the 'if you can't have a toy, nobody can' resentment of people engaging in activities or interests that I want to but am unable to or feel like I can't.

Wow, I have been healing from my attachment wounds already for 9 months now with the help of Heidi’s videos! ❤❤❤ I have just found out that I have always found vulnerability dumb or overexaggerated. But I always overdid vulnerability in my own life so I guess to make sure that peolpe reject me. But they always wanted to love me and then I started to become more and more dishonest and disrespectful so that they would finally reject me. Even with friends. I am so sad about that. But I know now however long it takes I am able to heal from my attachment wounds. Love to everyone!

1. This is my first time tuning in to your channel. You did amazing with covering a huge topic and all of its points in a brief amount of time. 2. I related to everything you covered. Confirmation that I am well on my way to healing. 3. You have a new sub:)

Most of the videos I’ve watched of hers are definitely not short, but she is just so well spoken that I honestly do not mind. I could listen to her lecture for hours and feel energized at the end.

I LOVE your long form videos. Looking forward to these shorter ones, too. But if I wanted short form, I’d watch TikTok (which I don’t) or shorts (sometimes my fingers slip 🤣)
