It's not you... it's my attachment style.
In this insightful episode, Barb sits down with our favourite relationship coach Tim Wade to explore the often misunderstood world of Avoidant Attachment. Together, they unpack how this attachment style develops, what it looks like in relationships, and why those with avoidant tendencies may struggle with closeness despite craving connection.
Tim sheds light on the emotional patterns that drive avoidant behavior and offers practical advice for fostering deeper intimacy — whether you’re the one pulling away or loving someone who does.
