How Do You Let Them Go? When Love and Fear Are Entangled
Letting go isn’t just emotional — it can feel physical. Your chest tightens. You panic when you see overdose news. You feel responsible for keeping them safe.
In this episode, Andrea explains attachment activation, hypervigilance, and the fear-responsibility loop that makes stepping back feel impossible. When love and fear become intertwined, your nervous system can interpret separation as danger.
