No. 63 Understanding your attachment style + fear of intimacy
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.
