Ep 46 Why It's So Hard to Trust God (and Other People)

Attachment, Healing & the Character of God Have you ever wondered why trusting God can feel difficult—even when you genuinely love Him? For many of us, the way we learned to relate to parents, caregivers, authority figures, and significant relationships shaped far more than our human connections. Those early experiences often influence how we see ourselves, how we view others, and even how we experience God. In this episode of Hope Through the Hard, Ashley and Levi explore attachment theory through a biblical lens, discussing anxious attachment, avoidant attachment, healing, and the character of God. Together, they unpack how past wounds can quietly influence our expectations of love, safety, and trust—and why healing those wounds can transform both our relationships and our faith. You'll learn: • How attachment patterns form and why they matter • The difference between anxious and avoidant attachment • Why your struggles with trust may be more relational than theological • How healing helps move us toward greater security • The connection between attachment theory, nervous system healing, and spiritual growth • Why God's consistency, faithfulness, compassion, and nearness are foundational to secure attachment Most importantly, you'll be reminded that healing is possible. Your attachment wounds are not your identity, and God's character is not defined by the people who wounded you. If you've ever struggled to trust, feared abandonment, felt emotionally distant, or wondered why relationships feel difficult, this conversation is for you. 🌿 Learn more about coaching, resources, and upcoming content at curatedcoalition.com #HopeThroughTheHard #AttachmentTheory #ChristianHealing #FaithAndMentalHealth #TraumaHealing #InnerChildHealing #ChristianPodcast
