“I want you to develop a relationship with yourself so you have more to hold onto, beyond your partner.”
– Becky Nagel, LCSW
Attachment issues much?
You crave closeness but find yourself pushing people away. When your partner hangs out with friends, you feel jealous and like you’re not enough.
Maybe you spam your partner with texts and calls, constantly needing reassurance and pushing them to the brink. And whenever your roommate talks about their relationship, it sends you into a spiral of your own insecurities.
The fear of being alone haunts you, making every second of loneliness feel like torture.
Balancing your needs without sabotaging your relationships
Imagine NOT feeling that gut-wrenching jealousy when your partner goes out with friends. Picture handling your anxious thoughts and fears without them blowing up your relationship.
You stand up for yourself confidently, even when it’s tough. Your partner goes away for the weekend, and instead of freaking out, you actually enjoy your alone time. You have a serious convo about moving in together, and you handle it with grace and chill.
You vibe deeply with your partner without the constant fear of being abandoned. You're not scared of being alone or always worrying that something bad will happen.
Why? Because you’ve built a strong foundation within yourself.
I’m your judgment-free zone.
I’m Becky Nagel, LCSW, and I’m here to help you make sense of the mess.
I’ve been through the wringer with relationships, rejections, and attachment issues myself – being an identical twin gave me a front-row seat to all of that.
I know the freedom that comes when you break free from attachment struggles, and I’m ready to guide you there.
