Dating With Anxious Attachment: Stop Ghosting Cycles And Build Healthy Love | With Drea Renee
About this episode
In this episode, Michael Unbroken and Drea Renee discuss how childhood trauma and anxious attachment affect modern dating and relationships.
Do you feel like you keep dating the same person in a different body, repeating painful patterns you swore you were done with ? In this raw conversation, I sit down with dating and attachment expert Drea Renee to talk about how childhood trauma, anxious attachment, and modern dating culture collide to shape your love life today. We break down ghosting, hookup culture, co‑regulation, and why you might be dating from your 7‑year‑old self instead of your adult self, and what it actually takes to build a secure, healthy relationship that lasts. If you grew up in chaos, had a parent leave, or feel “too much” and dysregulated in relationships, this episode will show you that you are not broken and that there is a clear path to healing, accountability, and better love. You will learn practical tools for framing hard conversations, knowing when to walk away, and how to stop blaming everyone else and finally start doing your own work.
