If you think anxious attachment only impacts your romantic relationships, think again! Discover how healing anxious attachment also heals your nervous system and save you from chronic stress, backed by research from Dr. Gabor Maté.
Your significant other goes out for the night. Minutes feel like hours as your mind spins with worst-case scenarios.
Are they going to cheat on me? Are they meeting someone else right now? I'm going to be abandoned.
When they finally reply, relief floods in—but it doesn’t last. Tomorrow, the same cycle begins.
Have relationships felt like a battlefield—filled with overthinking, avoidance, and fear? Congratulations, just like us, you may have anxious attachment. The answer to healing lies in understanding attachment and healing the nervous system.
Human beings are hardwired for connection - it's how we are programmed to survive. From birth, we depend on secure, loving bonds—first with caregivers and later with partners and friends.
Attachment is as essential as the air we breathe. When we sense a threat to connection, our brain triggers a fight-flight-freeze response to protect us. These responses shape how we navigate relationships:
Fortunately - these patterns are not permanent! When growing up, your nervous system learned them in response to your environment, and it can also unlearn them.
Overthinking isn’t “just anxiety.” It’s your nervous system scanning for danger, replaying old fears, and predicting the worst to keep you safe. These survival strategies that once protected you in childhood now hold you back.
When you calm your nervous system, your mind follows.
At Eden, we'll provide the right tools and tips to show you how.
When our anxious attachment is activated, our body activates fight-or-flight - directly related to our nervous system, stomach, hormones and more.
Attachment patterns shape not only your relationships, but how you see the world.
It's like wearing a pair of rose-tinted, distorted glasses. So not only your romantic relationships are affected, but also your workplace relationships, friendships and family dynamics.
Healing attachment wounds means teaching your nervous system that connection is safe.
Secure relationships are the foundation of a regulated nervous system. They create the safety needed to replace old fears with trust and connection.
At Eden, we'll teach you how to build a secure relationship with yourself and transform your relationships.
When the nervous system remains stuck in fight-flight-freeze mode, it takes a toll on your physical and mental health. Renowned trauma expert Dr. Gabor Maté has extensively studied the connection between unresolved stress and chronic illness.
Dr. Maté's research shows how emotional stress, particularly from early attachment wounds (or childhood trauma), contributes to both mental and physical health issues.
According to Dr. Maté, chronic nervous system activation can lead to:
These findings underline why healing attachment is not just about improving relationships—it’s about protecting your health and well-being.
Fixing attachment patterns and calming the nervous system go hand in hand. By working through your anxious attachment, you teach your body and mind to regulate themselves, creating a balanced state that benefits every area of your life.
Short-term benefits of healing include:
Long-term benefits include:
When you heal your attachment wounds, you’re not just changing how you relate to others—you’re transforming your entire life. As Dr. Maté’s research shows, healing your nervous system gives your mind and body the space to thrive.

I normally pay for a very expensive therapist. I was triggered and then spent the past hour talking to Eden. I was able to go deep. It’s an on demand therapist that would usually cost hundred of dollars an hour. Wow!
