Description

Send Me Questions on AttachmentA cracked façade can still shine on Instagram, but it cannot carry a soul. Elysse joins us to peel back the layers of anxious attachment, approval chasing, and meticulously controlled routines that unraveled into a full-blown mental breakdown and an involuntary hospital stay. What followed wasn’t a polished comeback; it was a raw surrender that reframed pain as loving redirection and opened the door to a different kind of peace.We walk through the hard rooms of her story—early instability, people-pleasing that numbed more than it soothed, and the heavy grief surrounding abortion—and we sit with the difference between condemnation and conviction. Elysse explains how shame lifted at the cross, leaving space for honest grief and real healing. Her search for the transcendent led deep into new age practices, promises of power, and even an eerie “new name” moment. Then, in a quiet flash, the presence of Jesus broke through, scripture came alive, and a planned trip to further her spiritual path was replaced by a church course and a new way to be human.We talk about leaving tight-knit communities, with all the unfollows and closed doors that come with a public reversal. We also highlight the believers who held firm convictions with gentle presence—people whose kindness confounded expectations and kept the conversation open. For anyone wrestling with anxiety, identity, or the ache to belong, Elysse's journey is a clear map: grace reaches farther than your worst day, truth can be tender, and kindness has the power to lead you home.If this story moved you, share it with a friend, subscribe for more conversations that heal, and leave a review to help others find hope.Find Elysse on IG: @beledbyloveSupport the showFOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM:@godattachmenthealingFOLLOW ME ON FACEBOOK:God Attachment HealingMY HOPE FOR YOUI hope these episodes bring you closer to Christ and encourage you in your walk with Him. ABOUT ME 👇I have been a Christ-follower for the last 20+ years of my life, and have seen the Lord's grace, strength, and faithfulness through it all.
