Navigating the landscape of relationships often leads humans with CPTSD to encounter the recurring patterns of choosing emotionally unavailable partners. This pattern can be both perplexing and distressing, as humans find themselves repeatedly drawn to partners who withdraw in moments of vulnerability. I offer a nuanced perspective on this issue, by challenging the traditional view by suggesting that "emotionally unavailable" may be a misnomer, as partners can exhibit emotional responsiveness under certain conditions. These partners can be confusing because they often appear supportive when situations are favorable but tend to withdraw when confronted with challenges or feedback that threatens their self-perception. I emphasize the importance of recognizing these shifts in emotional availability and advocate for creating safe spaces for vulnerability in relationships to break the cycle of avoidance and withdrawal. Did someone just break up with you?
