Their reply takes an hour — and your stomach is already in knots. You reread every message before sending it. Then again. You sound "fine," but inside, you're bracing for the worst.
One slightly off tone, and your mind runs ahead — planning what you'll do when they leave.
You apologise just to keep the peace. You need reassurance — and then hate that you needed it.
After every conversation, you replay everything: their tone, their pauses, what they really meant.
You've Googled this at 2 a.m. more times than you can count.
You are not crazy. You are not broken. You're exhausted — and you're in the right place.
It has a name. And it's not "too much."
This is anxious attachment.
It's not your personality. It's not a flaw. It's a pattern.
At some point, love felt unpredictable — so you learned to track it. To read between the lines. To work harder to keep it close.
That system made sense once. It probably kept you safe.
But now it's running on overdrive — and it's exhausting you.
The good news? This is one of the most workable patterns I see. Your nervous system is doing its old job. We can teach it a new one.
The version of you on the other side of this.
A reply comes late — and you go back to your day.
They seem off — and you don't make it about you.
You ask for what you need — without overthinking it.
"I love you" lands… instead of triggering "but for how long?"
The relationship feels calm. Not like something you have to constantly manage.
You stop apologising for needing reassurance — and slowly, you don't need it the same way anymore.
You feel like yourself again. In love — and outside of it.
Hi, I'm Ann.
I'm a counsellor who works with women whose love language — somewhere underneath — is anxiety.
I trained at Symbiosis (Post Graduate Diploma in Psychological Counselling, A+ honours).
But more honestly? I built this practice for the woman who has read every relationship book… and still spirals when he says, "we need to talk."
You don't need another reading list. You need the right kind of support.
My work is focused: your patterns, your triggers, your relationship — and what to do when the spiral starts.
Sessions are online, confidential, and grounded in real, practical change.
Common questions, before you book.
Here's what I want you to know.
You can love someone without losing yourself in them.
You can be loved without bracing for it to disappear.
This isn't who you are. It's a pattern.
And patterns can change.
