AVOIDANT COPING : using distraction to escape discomfort instead of addressing it. Fun isn’t bad - it’s using fun to avoid life that’s the issue. The nervous system learned: “If I don’t feel it, I can survive it.”

INSECURE ATTACHMENT : This develops when caregivers are both the source of care and fear. When a person didn’t consistently feel safe, seen or supported in early relationships, so their nervous system learned that connection isn’t reliable. It’s the fear that closeness might hurt, disappear, or cost you something. While toxic love feels normal.

CODEPENDENCY : a relationship pattern where one person becomes overly focused on another person’s needs, feelings, or problems, often at the expense of their own well-being. Growing up in environments where love felt conditional, you learned that your worth comes from being useful or needed.
