Why Women Attract Emotionally Unavailable Men - Lyn Smith & Caroline Ackroyd

Lyn welcomes back Caroline Ackroyd, a hypnotherapist and love coach, to explore the compelling topic of why women often attract emotionally unavailable men. Caroline shares her insights on unhealthy patterns that stem from our childhood experiences, emphasising how unmet emotional needs can lead to a cycle of seeking affection and validation from men who mirror those early relationships. The conversation delves into the psychological aspects of these dynamics, including the concept of "pining patterns", & the trauma bonds that attract unhealthy relationships, and how we can heal and break free from them. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding Emotional Unavailability: Emotional unavailability in men can stem from their childhood experiences, where their emotional needs were not met. This can manifest in various ways, from lack of affection/ attention to more severe issues like narcissisic behaviours. The Pining Pattern: The "pining pattern," is where love is associated with longing and chasing and feeling anxious. This pattern often leads to choosing men who mirror the emotional unavailability experienced in childhood, perpetuating a cycle of unfulfilling/ unhealthy relationships. Self-Responsibility: It's crucial to recognise that while attraction to emotionally unavailable men is external, it's actually a reflection of what's going on internally. Taking responsibility for any unhealthy choices we make in relationships is the first step towards healing and breaking the pattern. Healing involves changing your negative self-talk/ narrative about self-worth and being good enough, and learning to positively validate yourself. By acknowledging your own lovability and worthiness, you can attract more attention/ affection and healthier relationships. BEST MOMENTS  "When I say emotionally unavailable, that can manifest itself... from someone who is not affectionate, all the way to higher degrees... a narcissist all the way to psychopath." "You are trying to change your parent by changing that partner... if you can make him into a warm, cuddly, loving pussycat, you will have put a happy ending on your childhood." "You will know that you have healed when that type and those red flags no longer come into your radar." "It's not about finding love. It's about attracting that partner... it's possible and available for you."ABOUT THE GUEST - Caroline Ackroyd - Hypnotherapist & Love CoachCaroline Ackroyd is an RTT Hypnotherapist, Dating Coach and Soulmate Attraction Mentor helping women elevate their self-concept, sense of worthiness and lovability to feel whole and confident to date in their power.
