The Avoidant's Biggest Lie: "I'm Trapped"

The Avoidant's Biggest Lie: "I'm Trapped"

Why does healthy love sometimes feel suffocating?

In this episode, we're exploring one of the biggest misconceptions behind avoidant attachment: the belief that feeling trapped automatically means something is wrong with the relationship. Together, we'll unpack how childhood experiences, attachment wounds, and our nervous system can cause us to mistake closeness for control, compromise for self-neglect, and normal relationship needs for losing ourselves.

You'll learn how to distinguish between the prison created by your own mind and a relationship that is genuinely unhealthy—so you can begin making decisions from clarity rather than fear.
