Today's episode is all about the role of criticism in anxious-avoidant dynamics. Both anxious and avoidant people have been known to deploy criticism as a strategy to manage fears and self-protect in relationships - but this will often look different (and be motivated by different drives) on each side.  One thing's for sure: no matter how it shows up, criticism is really harmful to relationships - so if this is something you struggle with, you've come to the right place. 

We'll cover:

• how anxiously attached people use criticism as a protest behaviour 
• criticism as a way to convey our hurt
• how avoidant people use criticism to sow seeds of doubt and create distance
• how to identify the needs underlying our criticism so we can communicate in a healthier way
