Duration: 25:03
I explore why dismissive avoidant men often crave love deeply while simultaneously pushing it away. I break down the mother wound and emotional conditioning that can lead men to associate intimacy, closeness, and vulnerability with danger instead of safety. I also talk about why healthy relationships can feel overwhelming for avoidant men, and what it actually takes to begin healing these patterns. If you’ve ever struggled with emotional closeness or loved someone who pulls away when things get real, this episode will help you understand what’s really happening beneath the surface.
