Let’s talk about the push-pull cycle, the overthinking, the mixed signals—and the deep-rooted fear of abandonment and engulfment that fuels it all. This episode explores the reality of living with anxious-avoidant attachment, whether you’re the one caught in the pattern or trying to love someone who is. We’ll unpack how childhood experiences, nervous system responses, and emotional survival strategies shape this dynamic, and why it’s not just about communication—it’s about safety. Healing starts when we stop blaming ourselves for being “too much” or “too distant” and start getting curious about where it all comes from.


As always, while my podcast is meant to spark reflection and curiosity, it’s not a replacement for therapy. If you’re navigating heavy emotions or challenges, please reach out to a professional. Therapy is a safe space to process and grow.
