God Attachment Healing

• Anxious? Or Anxiously Attached?

  Send Me Questions on AttachmentYour anxiety isn’t random noise; it’s an alarm. The real question is what it’s warning you about. We explore the line between general anxiety and anxious attachment, showing how one spreads across life’s domains while the other flares when intimacy gets close enough to test old maps. With clear definitions of GAD, social anxiety, separation anxiety, and panic attacks, we lay out where these experiences overlap and where they diverge, so you can stop guessing and start noticing patterns.From there, we dig into the heart of anxious attachment: a positive view of others paired with a shaky view of self, born from inconsistent caregiving and sustained by protest behaviors that seek closeness through urgency. You’ll learn how to read rupture and repair as the most reliable evidence of a relationship’s stability, and how to build a personal toolkit that actually works under stress—breath practices, grounding, prayer, and co‑regulation with secure people who help your body feel safe again.We also bring faith into the conversation without shaming your story. Many of us project human patterns onto God, but security with God can transform how we handle triggers with people. When you treat God as a true secure base—returning in prayer, anchoring in Scripture, and seeking wise counsel—the alarm shifts from panic to guidance. By pairing nervous system skills with honest relationship audits, you can become more secure over time, even if anxiety still visits.Ready to tell whether it’s anxiety in general or an attachment alarm?

• You Need A Relationship To Heal, And Here’s Why

  Send Me Questions on AttachmentWhat if healing doesn’t happen in isolation, but in the friction and tenderness of a committed relationship? We take a clear-eyed look at why romantic commitment can catalyze growth in ways friendship and mentorship rarely reach, and how that truth fits with a robust, Christ-centered life. Starting in Genesis, we revisit the line “it is not good that man should be alone” and unpack why that’s not a critique of God’s sufficiency, but a gift of human design—formation through another person, modeled after Christ and the church.We walk through a biopsychosocial-spiritual framework for change: how bonded pairs co-regulate the body, how intimacy surfaces hidden scripts and fears, how shared burdens build resilience, and how scripture, prayer, and community keep desire aligned with truth. You’ll hear a practical roadmap for rupture and repair—misunderstandings, pauses, returns, and reconciliations—that slowly nurture secure attachment and emotional regulation. We also name the cultural fatigue around dating, the temptation to retreat into self-protection, and the courage it takes to be fully known without shutting down under shame.This conversation is not a sales pitch for marriage as a cure-all, nor does it dismiss singleness as a faithful calling. It’s an invitation to examine whether avoidance, not vocation, is steering your choices—and to see how forgiveness, grace, and redemption take on flesh inside a covenant. If you’ve wondered why vulnerability matters, how to pursue wisely, or where faith meets attachment science, this one will meet you with clarity and compassion.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a rating or review so more listeners can find these conversations.

• Why Genuine Relationship Fuels Christian Growth w/ Carley Marcouillier

  Send Me Questions on AttachmentWhat if the fastest path to transformation is slowing down for connection? We sit with attachment-focused therapist Carley Marcouillier to explore how Christian growth and lasting psychological change flow from safety, presence, and honest relationship—first with God, then with ourselves, and finally with others. Instead of chasing quick fixes, Carley invites a new agenda: let connection lead and let change follow.We unpack the core moves of attachment and IFS: viewing symptoms as messengers, not enemies; trading pressure for inspiration by noticing everyday “glimmers” that expand our capacity; and practicing pacing so the nervous system can settle and receive care. Carley offers a practical, faith-rooted lens for balancing community and solitude, using the question when rather than what to discern wise action. We talk about the challenge of naming needs—especially when past experiences, church messages, or cultural scripts labeled needs as weakness—and how emotions point us toward boundaries, comfort, and support.From there, we get concrete about building the community you actually need: cultivating voice, choice, and autonomy; starting small with safe-enough risks; and creating spaces like walking groups, book circles, and intentional text threads. We also reframe Jesus’s “light burden” as both lighter weight and illuminating presence, emphasizing that we’re not meant to carry alone. Suffering in isolation wounds, but suffering with heals—through empathic witnesses, faithful friends, and the nearness of God.If you’re tired of white-knuckling change and ready for a gentler, deeper way forward, this conversation will help you find clarity, reclaim your needs, and take your next safe-enough step.

• "Big T" Trauma vs "Little t" Trauma: How Trauma Shapes Belief And Recovery w/ Maggie McCane

  Send Me Questions on AttachmentWhat if your brain isn’t broken—it’s just stuck? We sit down with trauma therapist Maggie McCane, LCSW, to unravel how big T and little t trauma shape your body, beliefs, relationships, and even how you see God. From the first moment a young brain misreads a storm as “I don’t matter” to decades of confirmation bias and physical symptoms, we trace how pain embeds in the nervous system and what it takes to move it into the past.Maggie explains why she left agency work to create a flexible practice that prioritizes extended EMDR intensives and individualized care. We dig into how EMDR “unsticks” memories, what resourcing looks like before deep work, and why motivation can’t outrun a dysregulated body. You’ll hear practical ways to notice early signs—sleep, gut issues, irritability, hypervigilance—and translate them into action steps that restore balance. Instead of silencing the body, we treat its signals as vital data.Faith takes center stage without clichés. We talk Christian integration done well, the damage of spiritual platitudes, and how attachment to God often mirrors early caregiver attachment. Using correspondence and compensation theories, we map how negative God images form and how consistent, timely, and effective experiences in community and prayer can heal them. We keep it grounded: what healing actually looks like day to day, how to evaluate therapist fit, and why trust is the number one predictor of change.If you’ve ever wondered why you feel triggered by everything, why “just think positive” falls flat, or where God was in your hardest moments, this conversation offers clarity and tools. Listen, share with someone who needs it, and if it landed, subscribe, leave a review, and tell us what belief you’re ready to rewrite.Support the showFOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM:@godattachmenthealingFOLLOW ME ON FACEBOOK:God Attachment Healing MY HOPE FOR YOUI hope these episodes bring you closer to Christ and encourage you in your walk with Him.
