Nobody likes to be afraid, but sometimes the way we avoid being afraid can result in problems in our relationships.

Fearful-avoidant attachment patterns can cause significant challenges in forming and maintaining healthy relationships. This attachment pattern typically develops in childhood when caregivers are inconsistent or unpredictable in responding to a child's needs. As adults, individuals with fearful-avoidant attachment patterns may struggle with intimacy, avoid close relationships, or engage in relationships with a push-pull dynamic.

Some common characteristics of individuals with fearful-avoidant attachment patterns include difficulty trusting others, fear of rejection, difficulty expressing emotions, and a tendency to withdraw. These individuals may have learned that it is not safe to express their emotions and needs, leading to difficulty with vulnerability and communication in relationships.

If you recognize these patterns in yourself, it is essential to seek support and develop healthy coping mechanisms. Seeking therapy can help you understand and process your past experiences, build emotional resilience, and develop healthier attachment patterns. With time and effort, it is possible to form and maintain healthy relationships and break free from the cycle of fearful-avoidant attachment patterns.

Quem é Luzia?
Tenho 52 anos e posso dizer: as cartas me escolheram aos 27.

Eu só tive a humildade de aceitar o chamado e a disciplina de me preparar para ele.

Não vim de família de tarólogas. Vim da academia - sou formada em Psicologia. E foi justamente isso que me fez diferente: aprendi a ler não apenas as cartas, mas a alma por trás de cada pergunta.

Entre um cafezinho e outro (minha paixão confessa - digo que o café aquece as mãos para embaralhar e o coração para sentir), continuo estudando. Astrologia, numerologia, terapia floral, arquétipos junguianos. Nunca paro de aprender.

Porque entendo: por trás de cada pergunta sobre amor, existe um padrão. Por trás de cada dúvida profissional, uma ferida. Por trás de cada medo, uma alma pedindo luz.

Não apenas "jogo cartas".
Eu decodifico almas.

E faço isso com a doçura de quem serve um cafézinho quentinho para uma amiga.
