TOXIC RELATIONSHIP & TRAUMA BOND RECOVERY
Breaking Free from Patterns That Keep You Stuck — If you’ve found yourself in the same painful relationship dynamics over and over, it’s not a coincidence — it’s an attachment pattern. If you can’t stop thinking about someone who hurt you, you may be caught in a trauma bond, not a lack of willpower. Using Integrated Attachment Theory, we identify the root of those cycles and build a clear path toward relationships that actually feel safe and fulfilling.
PEOPLE PLEASING & FAWN RESPONSE COACHING
Reclaim Your Voice and Your Boundaries — Chronic people-pleasing isn’t a personality trait — it’s a survival strategy rooted in your attachment history. We do the deep work of understanding why your nervous system learned to put everyone else first, and how to finally choose yourself without guilt.
FEARFUL AVOIDANT ATTACHMENT COACHING
For the Part of You That Wants Love and Runs from It — Fearful avoidant attachment is one of the most misunderstood patterns. You crave deep connection but feel terrified by it at the same time. Using IAT coaching techniques, we work through the push-pull, the self-sabotage, and the walls you’ve built — at a pace that feels safe.
ANXIOUS ATTACHMENT COACHING
From Hypervigilance to Trust — If you find yourself constantly seeking reassurance, afraid of abandonment, or unable to calm your nervous system in relationships — anxious attachment may be running the show. Using Integrated Attachment Theory, we rewire those patterns from the inside out so you can experience real security in yourself and your relationships.
Couples
ATTACHMENT STYLES IN RELATIONSHIP: BREAKING THE ANXIOUS-AVOIDANT CYCLE
Understanding Each Other From the Inside Out — When two people with different attachment styles come together, conflict is inevitable — but so is growth. If one of you pursues while the other pulls away, you may be caught in the anxious-avoidant cycle. We map each partner’s attachment patterns, identify how they collide, and build a shared language for navigating triggers with compassion instead of defensiveness.
COMMUNICATION & CONFLICT RESOLUTION
From Reactive to Responsive — Most couples don’t have a communication problem — they have an unmet needs problem. We get beneath the surface of recurring arguments to understand what each partner is really asking for and build communication tools that create connection instead of distance.
Goal Setting & Achievement as a Couple
Driven by Your Shared Vision — Building on the principles of individual goal setting, this service focuses on collaboratively defining and pursuing shared goals as a couple. We will work together to articulate your joint vision for the future, break down larger aspirations into manageable steps, and develop strategies for mutual support and accountability. By aligning your goals with your shared “why” and understanding each other’s personality styles in achieving them, you can strengthen your bond and create a future you are both excited to build together.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the fawn response?
The fawn response is a trauma response in which a person keeps others happy in order to feel safe, which is why it often looks like people-pleasing. As a certified Integrated Attachment Theory coach, Dawn Martinez helps clients understand where it came from and practice choosing for themselves.
What is a trauma bond?
A trauma bond is a strong emotional attachment that forms in a relationship that swings between hurt and affection, which is why you can still miss or think about someone who harmed you. Dawn Martinez, a certified IAT coach in Tampa Bay, helps clients loosen that bond and rebuild trust in themselves.
What is Integrated Attachment Theory coaching?
Integrated Attachment Theory (IAT) coaching looks at the attachment patterns underneath your reactions in relationships. Dawn Martinez is a Certified IAT Coach offering sessions in Tampa Bay, FL, and virtually nationwide.
