Episode 2759:

Dr. Lisa Firestone explores why love can feel both deeply desired and intensely frightening, showing how early attachment patterns shape the way we give and receive closeness. By understanding whether we lean more toward avoidance or anxiousness in relationships, we can uncover healthier ways to connect, balance independence with vulnerability, and create more secure bonds.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.psychalive.org/why-relationships-scare-us/

Quotes to ponder:

“Most people have a fear of intimacy and at the same time are terrified of being alone.”

“Love is universal in that it’s something most of us strive for; it’s part of what gives our lives meaning.”

“A lot of people want someone up until the moment that someone wants them back, or they only start wanting a person when that person stops wanting them.”
