The Intimacy Dance in Neurodiverse Relationships: Push, Pull, and the Power of Pause
In this Therapy Insights Tuesday episode of Love on the Autism Spectrum, therapist and neurodivergent coach Barbara (Blaze) Lazarony, LMFT, explores the often-misunderstood dynamics of intimacy in neurodiverse relationships—especially the push-pull experience of wanting connection but needing space.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by closeness or unsure about how much space you need—or how to interpret your partner’s retreat—you’re not alone. Blaze unpacks this emotional tension through the lens of sensory needs, communication differences, nervous system regulation, and attachment patterns.
You’ll learn:
- What drives the push-pull dynamic in neurodivergent couples
- Why some individuals crave closeness one moment and withdraw the next
- How to navigate these patterns with curiosity, compassion, and clarity
Whether you’re the one who pulls away or the one left feeling confused, this episode helps both partners understand what’s really going on beneath the surface. Blaze offers practical tools and trauma-informed strategies to create safety, respect, and deeper connection—without shame or blame.
Tune in for grounded guidance that honors your nervous system, your relationship needs, and your right to boundaries and closeness.
