on How do I ask for reassurance when I have an anxious attachment style?
The urge to 'get ahead of the abandonment' is so sneaky. Awareness helps; it doesn't erase it overnight.

on What is the best strategy for boosting self-confidence?
Get up off your chair. Put on your shoes. Go outside. Find something that scares you and overcome that fear. Then rest. Give yourself time to breathe and recover. Then repeat.

Wanting it to work isn't the same as it being workable. I learned that the slow way.
