About the Book
You Are Not Broken:
A Practical Guide to
Healing Avoidant Attachment
This book is your invitation to stop surviving and start truly connecting — with yourself, your body, and others.
Avoidant attachment isn’t a flaw. It’s an adaptation — one your mind and body developed to stay safe when connection didn’t feel safe.
In You Are Not Broken, Michelle Carbone, Clinical Hypnotherapist and Intuitive Coach, walks you gently through the real roots of avoidant and fearful-avoidant patterns — and shows you how to heal them from the inside out.
Through heartfelt storytelling, client examples, neuroscience, somatic practices, and subconscious healing tools, this book will help you:
-
Understand how avoidant patterns are formed and why they persist
-
Rewire your subconscious mind to feel safe with closeness
-
Regulate your nervous system and reclaim emotional safety
-
Reconnect with your inner child and build self-trust
-
Navigate triggers with compassion instead of shame
-
Celebrate your healing journey — one small step at a time
This is a book to read with your heart open and a journal nearby.
It’s a map back to the most secure relationship you’ll ever have —
the one with yourself.

Mindfulness with Michelle
Reconnect with Yourself Through Mindfulness
Learn to feel safe in your body, present in your life, and calm in your heart.
When you’ve lived in survival mode for years, slowing down can feel terrifying.
But mindfulness isn’t about clearing your mind — it’s about coming home to yourself.
The Mindfulness with Michelle course is a gentle, trauma-aware introduction to presence and emotional regulation, created especially for people healing from avoidant, disorganized, or anxious attachment.
You’ll learn how to:
-
Notice your thoughts and reactions without judgment
-
Use breath, body awareness, and grounding to regulate your nervous system
-
Feel emotions without getting overwhelmed
-
Practice safe, loving presence with yourself (and eventually, others)
This isn’t just another meditation course — it’s a bridge back to connection.
Whether you’re new to mindfulness or looking for a fresh, real-world approach to healing through the body, this course will help you build the internal safety avoidant patterns crave.
