On today’s show, I discuss what happens when the scene ends and connection turns quiet. This episode concludes a two-part series exploring avoidance, intimacy, and what it means to stay when the instinct is to run. We look at the drop from both sides: the person who retreats and the one left in the silence, and how the nervous system tries to find safety when closeness starts to feel unfamiliar. I talk about emotional pacing, repair, and the slow process of rebuilding trust in calm instead of chaos. If you have ever felt that push and pull between wanting to be seen and needing to hide, this conversation will help you understand what is really happening underneath that tension.
