Attachment Echo Part Two: When Attachment Styles Collide

Lizzi Varga Reinard Season 1 Episode 15

Welcome back to Untamed Voices, where truth is braver than silence.

In Part Two of this series, we explore what happens when two nervous systems—each shaped by their own survival story—try to find safety together. This isn’t just about romantic relationships, but about friendships, families, and workplaces where connection can suddenly feel confusing or tense.

Through a trauma-informed, nervous-system lens, we unpack anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment patterns—not as personality flaws, but as protective strategies. You’ll learn why one person’s closeness can feel like pressure, another’s distance can feel like rejection, and why these dynamics often hurt even when no one is trying to cause harm.

This episode includes a gentle somatic check-in to help you notice your own attachment responses in real time, with compassion and clarity—without abandoning your boundaries.

If relationships sometimes leave you feeling drained, misunderstood, or stuck in the same loops, this conversation offers language, insight, and a way to stay connected to yourself.

Next up: The Attachment Upgrade, where we explore what secure attachment actually looks and feels like in real life
