Summary

In this episode I talk about why people are afraid of intimacy and commitment – and I do it for both sides of the relationship: the fearers and the chasers. So this is for anyone who was in a happy in a relationship and then their partner started distancing as soon as things got close. It’s ALSO for anyone who can’t seem to stay in a committed relationship and you don’t know why you find yourself bailing as soon as someone starts to like you. This is something I see often in my One-on-One’s and I thought it warranted a podcast episode. And because I am directing this at two audiences, I jump back and forth between who I am identifying with. So sorry in advance if that gets annoying. I don’t want one side to feel left out. As per usual there are three parts: the what, why and how the tools.

1:17.4

when you're really close and you get to know somebody.

1:22.3

So this is for anyone who has been in a happy relationship and then their

1:25.2

partner suddenly pushed them away or maybe gradually started distancing as

1:29.2

soon as things got real or beyond the initial stage I guess of infatuation and

1:37.7

courtship. A. A. You fell for a person who had a fear of intimacy. Or this is also for if you are a person who suffers from a fear of

1:48.8

intimacy and you don't know why, but you find yourself bailing as soon as someone starts to really like you or things

1:56.0

start to become serious. Some people call this or sometimes this is tied to an avoidant attachment style and it's something that I see often in my

2:08.5

2:22.0

I might jump back and forth between who I am identifying

with.

So sorry in advance if that gets annoying.

2:30.2

I just don't want, if you're listening, I don't want you to feel like you're on the side that's left out so
