Episode #18- Anxious Attachment: "Why you need to keep raising the bar" (and how to stop)

If you have an anxious attachment style, you may know this pattern intimately: your partner finally meets a need, and instead of feeling satisfied you immediately set a new, higher expectation. In this Secure Love Club session, Julie Menanno unpacks the very common anxious tendency to raise the bar, why it happens, and how it quietly robs you of the progress that is actually there. Drawn from years of real couples work, this session helps anxiously attached partners understand the fear and mistrust underneath the moving target, learn to pause and truly take in what has been met, and stop the exhausting cycle that leaves both people discouraged and defeated. You will see why reassurance never seems to stick and what actually helps it land. Compassionate and practical for anyone who struggles to feel safe and satisfied even when their partner is genuinely trying. The full teaching and tools are inside for members.
