Have you ever wondered why your avoidant partner pulls away the second you get close? Why he goes quiet after a great date, or suddenly needs “space” when things feel perfect?
This episode is for YOU if you’ve ever caught yourself thinking: ✔ “What did I do wrong?” ✔ “Why does he shut down instead of talking about it?” ✔ “How do I make him stay… without feeling like I’m chasing him?”
I’m breaking down the 7 things women (or anyone with an anxious attachment) does (without even realizing it!) that push an avoidant guy away...
step by step...and WHY these behaviours feel so triggering to him
This episode was inspired by How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, but trust me, this isn’t just about a movie.
This is about your attachment style colliding with his… and what you can do differently
Here’s what we’ll cover: ✨ Why oversharing ALL your trauma on date one sends him running. ✨ Why making him your whole world feels like pressure (and what to do instead). ✨ Why those late-night text novels when you’re triggered make him shut down. ✨ The truth about silence, distance, and why it’s NOT rejection. ✨ How turning his emotional availability into a test of your worth is ruining your peace
And most importantly… how to STOP this pattern and finally feel secure in love
Because here’s the truth: Avoidants aren’t heartless. They’re scared too. Just like you. They learned as kids that closeness = danger. You learned closeness = safety. That’s why your love feels like a constant push-and-pull.
But the GOOD NEWS? You can break this cycle without changing him. It starts with your nervous system. It starts with YOU feeling safe, even when he pulls back.
LISTEN NOW or WATCH ON YOUTUBE Because healing doesn’t start in the moment you spiral. It starts in the micro-moments you live every day.
