YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIf you feel deeply pulled toward someone, wanting connection, reassurance, closeness, and then suddenly feel the urge to shut down or push away… it’s not confusion. And it’s not that you “don’t know what you want.”
This is often the Fearful Avoidant attachment pattern at work.
Fearful Avoidant attachment carries both activating wounds (fear of abandonment, rejection, not being good enough) and deactivating wounds (fear of being trapped, powerless, unsafe, or “bad” if you make a mistake).
Depending on which wound gets triggered, you may feel an intense need to move closer… or an equally intense need to create distance.
It can feel all-or-nothing.
Like you can’t just settle in and feel safe.
Like you’re either bracing for loss or bracing for overwhelm.
The push-pull isn’t random. It’s protective. And when you understand what’s underneath it, you can begin to create real stability and peace in your relationships.
Do you notice yourself feeling safest when you’re either chasing connection or pulling away from it?
