The Abandonment Alarm Toolkit: Crisis-Ready Tools for Anxious Attachment

Your abandonment alarm is not your fault.

If you freeze when someone doesn't text back. If your body floods with panic at any sign of distance. If you find yourself texting repeatedly, seeking reassurance, convinced they're leaving—this toolkit is for you.

The Abandonment Alarm Toolkit is a crisis-ready guide to understanding and regulating your nervous system when anxious attachment takes over. Based on attachment theory, neuroscience, and trauma-informed practices, this 82-page workbook gives you concrete tools to use in acute panic moments—not just theoretical understanding.

What's Inside:

• Part 1: Understanding the Alarm — Learn the neuroscience of why your body panics at distance. Discover your unique triggers, how abandonment fear develops, and where your pattern came from. Baseline anxiety assessment to track progress.
• Part 2: Pause Before Panic Framework — The 4-step process you'll use whenever your alarm activates: Notice → Ground → Reality-Test → Choose. Step-by-step guidance for each phase. Takes 10-20 minutes to move through a full spiral.
• Part 3: Tools for the Spiral — Emergency grounding techniques, nervous system regulation exercises, worksheets for when you're in acute panic and need immediate relief.
• Part 4: Communicating Without Desperation — Pre-written scripts for asking for reassurance, naming your needs, and reaching out consciously instead of reactively. Real-world scenarios with word-for-word language.
• Part 5: Printable Template Pack — Cut-out cards, decision trees, checklists, and tracking sheets designed to be laminated and carried with you. Use in the moment when panic hits.
• Maintenance & Reference — Closing letter, weekly maintenance plan, and quick-reference guide for ongoing practice.

Who This Is For:

• People with anxious attachment patterns struggling in romantic relationships
• Anyone paralyzed by fear of abandonment or rejection
• People experiencing relationship anxiety, panic attacks triggered by distance or perceived rejection
• Those healing from relationship trauma, emotional neglect, or inconsistent caregiving
• Anyone who spirals when texting goes unanswered or communication feels off
