Why do we crave love, yet end up in relationships that feel like an emotional tug-of-war? The anxious-avoidant trap is one of the most common yet painful relationship cycles—one person seeks closeness, while the other pulls away. If you've ever felt like you're chasing someone who won’t commit or avoiding someone who wants more from you, this episode is for you.
In this episode, I open up about:
💔 The anxious-avoidant dynamic and why it creates push-pull relationships
💭 Why anxious and avoidant partners are drawn to each other (but struggle to stay happy)
🚪 How avoidants retreat and why anxious partners feel abandoned
✨ The cycle that keeps this dynamic going—and how to break free
If you’ve ever wondered can we get out of this negative cycle and what is this pattern all about —this episode will give you the answers.
🎧 Tune in now and let’s break the cycle together.
