Description

Here’s a story you’ve lived before, even if you don’t realize it yet.

You meet someone. The connection is immediate, intoxicating—like a chemical reaction you can’t control. The texts flow effortlessly. The future feels possible. Then, without warning, the shift: one of you pulls back. The other panics. And just like that, you’re locked in the oldest romantic pattern in human psychology—the anxious-avoidant dance.

This isn’t just about bad timing or mismatched feelings. This is about how our earliest experiences wire us to love in ways that hurt.

And if you don’t understand the mechanism, you’ll keep stepping on the same landmine, wondering why it keeps exploding.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode.
