A Hidden Trauma We Must All Face

Question from community member Heather Mason:

“I’m seeking advice on how to not take on my partners emotions/life situation. I am definitely an anxious attachment. He has made a decision to leave a toxic job (toxic for him) and is now in a state of not knowing what to do and is depressed and not on a good place. He has stopped communicating and being present in the relationship. Me being anxious attachment, this sets me off in a panic, wanting to fix the situation and help him. I know its not about me but it makes me extremely anxious. How do I establish the boundary for myself to not take it on myself and still be a supportive partner?”
