This week, Alex continues breaking down attachment styles and dives into avoidant attachment. She discusses why getting close can feel so uncomfortable, the instinct to shut down or pull away, and why you might suddenly get the “ick” when things get serious. She also shares how to recognize when fear is driving your feelings, know when a relationship isn’t giving you room to heal, and communicate when your instinct is to shut down. Enjoy!
