Needy No More: Anxious Attachment Healing

Chris Rackliffe is an author and anxious attachment coach who has worked with thousands of people across six continents, and he brings that breadth of experience to Needy No More. The podcast has 13 episodes so far, released roughly monthly, mixing interview-style conversations with guest experts and solo episodes where Rackliffe shares his own perspective on healing. The guest lineup is a strength here. Rackliffe brings on therapists, coaches, and specialists to discuss topics like codependency, nervous system regulation, trauma recovery, and the specific challenge of breaking free from the pull toward emotionally unavailable partners. The interview format gives each episode a conversational flow that feels natural rather than scripted, and Rackliffe is a good listener who asks follow-up questions that push conversations past surface-level advice. Rated 5.0 stars from 13 reviews, the show has earned genuine praise from early listeners despite its small catalog. The most recent episode dropped in November 2025, so the release schedule is irregular, but each episode offers substantial depth. Rackliffe also has books, toolkits, and coaching programs available through his website, giving listeners options to go deeper if the podcast resonates. His perspective as a male voice in the anxious attachment space is notable — most shows in this niche are hosted by women, so hearing a man talk openly about neediness, attachment fears, and the vulnerability of doing this work adds a dimension that's hard to find elsewhere. If you prefer quality over quantity and like learning through expert conversations, the existing episodes are well worth your time.
