You have probably dated an avoidant man. Maybe you are in a relationship with one right now. Maybe you have been told, or have quietly suspected, that you have some avoidance of your own. And yet almost everything out there about avoidant attachment is written from the outside looking in, which means you understand the pattern but you still have no real idea what is happening on the inside of it. This episode changes that. In this conversation, Lucy's first ever male guest opens up about what it actually feels like to wake up numb after the best date of your life, why men pull away from the very people they want most, and what the journey from avoidance to real intimacy has looked like from inside a male nervous system. You will leave with a completely different way of understanding the men in your life, not as people who don't care, but as people who are often terrified in ways they cannot name. You will also hear an honest conversation about what women carry towards men, the ancient anger that can poison the most loving relationships, and what it takes to build something that can hold both people without either one disappearing. This is one of the most raw and genuinely useful conversations about modern love and relating that the podcast has produced. Find out more at www.lucymaeve.com.
