Journaling Exercise 1
“What My Nervous System Learned About Love”
This exercise helps you see how old patterns shaped attachment — without blame.
Write freely to these questions (no right or wrong answers):
• Growing up, love often felt like…
• I learned that to be loved, I needed to…
• When love didn’t feel safe, I coped by…
• My body feels safest when relationships are…
• As an adult, I often repeat the pattern of…
Then reflect:
“What do I want my nervous system to learn about love now?”
Write a few compassionate statements such as:
• Love can be calm
• Love doesn’t need chaos
• I don’t have to earn affection
• I am allowed to be safe
This isn’t about blaming the past.
It’s about understanding conditioning so you can choose differently.
