What to Do When a Partner Pulls Away
In today's episode, I'm sharing some thoughts on how to navigate a partner pulling away. If you're someone with anxious attachment patterns, a partner's withdrawal or disengagement can feel extremely distressing - and yet, many of our go-to strategies for managing that distress can ironically have the effect of pushing someone further away.
We'll cover:
what to do when someone pulls away in an early dating contextwhy we feel drawn to pursuing connections with people who are inconsistent how to navigate a partner repeatedly leaving and coming backwhat to do when a long-term partner is emotionally withdrawn or distantFurther Links & Resources

Self-Soothing for Anxious Attachment
In today's episode, we're talking all about self-soothing and anxious attachment. For most anxiously attached folks, self-soothing and self-regulation can be a real struggle. This typically shows up as an over-reliance on others (often a partner) to be our sole source of safety and reassurance when we experience emotional distress, and an accompanying sense of helplessness and panic if and when they are not available to perform that role.

4 Common Misconceptions About Avoidant Attachment
In this week's episode, I'm joined by my partner Joel and we're exploring some common misconceptions about avoidant attachment. Avoidant attachment is frequently misunderstood and misrepresented in a lot of online content, and it's so important to me to dispel some of those portrayals and offer something more humanising and more honest about what's going on for avoidant folks.
We cover misconceptions around:
avoidant people not wanting to be in relationshipsavoidant people only caring about themselvesavoidant people never experiencing anxiety in their relationshipsavoidant people being unable to changeFurther Links & Resources

Customer Reviews
So soothing
I work in mental health and sexology, and am cheering at the views expressed in this podcast. It’s so soothing and equally refreshing to hear attachment challenges being explained from a place of potential growth and positivity rather than toxicity. Admittedly I have listened to a few episodes at least a dozen times each for kind reminders. Thank you for your work.
Essential listening
A must for anyone wishing to get to know themselves better and embark on a journey of self-discovery. This podcast has helped me to look inward and learn and understand things about myself and how I relate to others that I otherwise may never have had the opportunity to learn. Thank you Stephanie for your caring and insightful podcast.
This helps me a lot
Stephanie has made me understand what I am (anxiously attached people) where I have been in such low mood and overthinking stuffs. Stephanie made me realised what I should and should not do. I feel so empowered and less feeling of self-worthlessness. Thank you very much.
