We recently connected with Marianna Turov and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Marianna thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Can you open up about a risk you’ve taken – what it was like taking that risk, why you took the risk and how it turned out?
On 2017 I began to specialize in Anxious Attachment, through my formal studies I learned a lot, but I wanted to know more, speak to people. But I did. not know how. So, I created a YouTube channel and made content asking for people to visit my calendly and schedule a session with me for an hour for free,
Over 3 years I spoke with over 7k people from all over the world and began my Anxious Attachment Research.
This experience taught me the ins and outs of AAS and hearing all of this from people that suffer themselves.
I was able to offer comfort and clarity to them and they were able to offer information and data to. me.
This symbiotic experience filled me up with information, confidence and knowledge.
Now, I have tons of information that helps me with my clients in my private practice and develop digital products and classes that will help them increase ther chances of healing.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
My idea of pursuing Anxious Attachment patients and helping them develop Secure Attachment was implanted by a roommate of mine. She suffered cruely with Anxious Attachment pain, I read on the topic and realized that it was way more common than I thought.
The biggest problem is that AAS people do not know they have it. they only know how they feel and carry their pain in silence, always playing it cool, since there is no room for insecure people in this world anymore.
I did not know anything about business, I had no clue how to create a practice and Ii knew for sure i did not want to be the “neighborhood shrink” I wanted more. I wanted to make my expertise known to the whole planet. So, a friend of mine from New Zealand taught me digital marketing and I extended myself all over making my self available to anyone that needed to fix this ugly problem.
My practice is called “Become Secure Now” in english and “Apego Seguro Hoy” in Spanish.
going to a bilingual boarding school paid off!
I offered my knowledge and my help to the Latin American audience and that is when things really started to expand.
I use a variety of methods. I discovered that not every psychologist can be a therapist and not every therapist can be a healer. I do not believe in this “long term work” from conventional city therapists that are sitting soundboards and listen to your drama of the week.
I do a mix if therapy and coaching together. To accelerate the healing process, I also only work with committed people who see reaching secure Attachment as any other hygiene standard of their body. Just as any other life project.
Something very important is to know lots and lots of information on childhood complex trauma, because I help adults that once were children and it is in childhood where we build our own AAS paradigm. We gather beliefs through evidence, consequence and reference all in early life.
I work online, I offer online classes for people who are not yet ready for therapy, for people that have Anxious Attached Anger, a course only for AAS women and my Ultimate course that has all my knowledge of the last 10 years of study and over 10k hours of case studies.
And that is why I can say with a 100 percent confidence, I can help people.
Training and knowledge matter of course, but beyond that what do you think matters most in terms of succeeding in your field?
Being curious about what the people you ant to help really feel.
My investment of time and money in doing a convocatory to speak to people for free for an hour for 2 years and collecting data has helped me immensely and all my content creation, I don’t need to depend on other people for ideas, My content is 100 percent original and it fills me up with confidence, knowing that my sources are the people with AAS themselves and I don’t need to bounce off other people’s ideas.
Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
“Fear of Success” that is the belief I had deep inside.
I was terrified of being successful and selling and advertising myself.
I was always taught to be “humble” and speaking highly about oneself was bad.
I did not know that is all inside of you.
There is an inscription inside all of us that tells us who we are.
And my inscription said “I am not deserving” and it took every day work to be able to quiet that voice down.
The best part is that you can go beyond and develop Authority over these beliefs and become their boss and have them do what you want.
I turned those voices and trained them to tell me other things, like “An avalanche of prosperity comes to me through rivers of abundance” that became my new voice and my new inscription.
