In the past 10 years, I sabotaged five long-term relationships.
At first I thought it was my intuition - my gut feeling - telling me I hadn’t met the right person yet.
But through therapy, I discovered something deeper:
It wasn’t my partners. It was me.
Specifically, my avoidant attachment style… and a deep, hidden fear of commitment I didn’t even know I had.
In this video, I’m sharing the full story of how I went from running away from intimacy… to finally being able to stay—emotionally, mentally, and physically—in a real, loving relationship.
You’ll learn why closeness can feel terrifying when you’re avoidantly attached, how we self-sabotage without knowing it, and most importantly:
The breakthrough that finally helped me stop fearing love.
