Description

You crave deep connection — but the moment someone actually meets you there, something inside you panics. You pull away, get distant, or convince yourself you’re not ready. You’re not alone — this push-and-pull between wanting love and fearing it is a common human experience.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why intimacy can feel both magnetic and terrifying
• A quick primer on attachment styles (and what they reveal about your patterns)
• How past pain and early attachment wounds influence current relationships
• Using current relationships as exposure therapy for closeness
• Naming your fear (“I want to be close, and I’m scared”) to build safety and space
• Learning to stay present in yourself while being present with others

This episode is all about bridging that gap between what you want and what you can tolerate — so closeness starts to feel less like danger, and more like home.
