• Challenging negative self-talk

What’s Inside the Workbook

✅ 1. Anxious Attachment Trigger Mapping

You document real relationship moments when anxiety shows up, including:
• The situation
• Your thoughts and feelings
• Your behavioral response
• Pattern analysis
• Your personal trigger action plan

This helps you stop feeling “crazy” and start seeing your anxiety as predictable and workable data.

✅ 2. Challenging Negative Self-Talk

You work through structured cognitive reframing exercises including:
• Identifying recurring relationship fears
• Rating belief strength before and after
• Examining evidence for and against the thought
• Replacing it with a balanced alternative
• Tracking emotional change across time

This directly reduces catastrophic thinking and reassurance-seeking impulses.

✅ 3. Self-Soothing Techniques Inventory

You build your own personalized nervous-system regulation toolkit, including:
• 10+ grounding techniques
• Effectiveness rating
• When and where to use each
• A 7-day real-life practice journal
• Weekly nervous system reflection

This shifts you from depending on external reassurance to internal emotional safety.

✅ 4. Building Self-Worth Independent of Relationships

You strengthen self-identity outside of attachment through:
• Positive quality inventory
• Personal affirmations
• Value-aligned goal setting
• Weekly self-worth practice tracking
• Independent confidence building

This is the foundation of secure attachment.

✅ 5. Healthy Communication & Boundaries

You practice:
• Expressing needs with “I” statements
• Role-playing real conversations
• Planning real-world expression
• Post-conversation reflection
• Weekly communication growth goals

This reduces mind-reading, people-pleasing, and emotional suppression.

✅ 6. Long-Term Integration Tools

You receive:
• Ongoing practice plans
• Weekly check-ins
• Communication reminders
• Compassion-based follow-up strategies
• Growth tracking prompts

This turns insight into long-term relational change.
