For those recognizing themselves as having an anxious preoccupied attachment style, there are various steps to foster healthier relationships and emotional stability. Essential measures include:
Developing Independence: Start with simple activities, such as enjoying meals alone or pursuing a hobby independently. Gradually increase the duration of solo time to acclimate to self-reliance.
Mindfulness and Self-Soothing: Practicing mindfulness through deep breathing techniques can help manage immediate anxiety triggers. Fostering awareness of one’s thoughts allows individuals to separate themselves from negative narratives that exacerbate their feelings of distress.
