Healing Begins with Secure Attachment Even for Adults in Scrubs

Healing Begins with Secure Attachment—Even for Adults in Scrubs

We talk a lot about attachment styles in pediatrics—but we rarely talk about how our own adult attachments shape how we show up in life and medicine.

When I was going through burnout and infertility, I pulled away from everyone. I convinced myself I was better off solving things alone. Asking for help felt weak. Vulnerability felt like a luxury.

But that loneliness made the stress worse.

It wasn’t until I started working with my fertility coach that I realized: what I craved most wasn’t time off. It was safe connection. I needed spaces where I could show up messy and still feel seen.

Secure attachment doesn’t mean being perfect in relationships. It means knowing you are worthy of support, and knowing how to offer it back.

Inside The Well-Being Accelerator we explore:

• How your subconscious thoughts affects your emotional health

• Simple nervous system tools to build safety in communication

• How to repair relationships strained by burnout, grief, or chronic stress

Your health isn’t just physical. It’s relational. And healing begins when you remember that letting others in isn’t weakness, it’s strength.
