Have you ever threatened to break up with someone when you actually had zero interest in breaking up? Have you ever acted hostile when you felt neglected, rather than voicing your feelings? Have you ever based how long you wait to respond to a text on how long they took to text you? Have you ever called or texted excessively when someone wasn't responding?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you were likely engaging in "protesting behavior." Protesting behavior is something we do when our attachment system gets activated, in an attempt to reestablish connection and ease the anxiety from lack of attention.

In this week's episode, host Hiwa Alaghebandian breaks down protest behavior. She explains types of protest behavior, how they look, and shares her own recent protest behavior. She also explains why it happens, and how we can stop doing it.

She also gets into: her mascara & eyelash regimen, vaginal steaming & mushrooms, hustle culture & shame around mental health, TV recs of the week, astrocartography, life updates, and more.
