The final post in this series looks at what all the earlier work has been building toward: secure attachment, both as something you can carry within yourself and something two people build together. It explores what security actually looks like day to day, how it shows up in the relationship you have with yourself, and what it means to bring more flexibility into a relationship - without needing a perfect starting point to get there.

You're not falling out of love. You're dysregulated.

Most couples who come to see me aren't incompatible.

The distance, the conflict, the feeling that you've become strangers, it's not a verdict on your relationship. It's a signal worth understanding.
