In this episode, Mayra and I conclude these series of episodes where we've discussed behavioral patterns or dynamics that characterized couples. This last one is known as Flee and Freeze, which is the progression of the previous dynamic, attack and withdraw. If you haven't listened to episode 48, attack and withdraw, we highly recommend you do so to have ample understanding of this last one.

In a nutshell, here's when the pursuer in the relationship becomes hopeless because his or her protest has not been validated. As a result, he or she goes into a freezing emotional state.

Meanwhile, the withdrawer remains in his or her state of self-defense, fleeing for fear of significant confrontations and even separation. The following points were addressed:

The origin of Flee and Freeze

Characteristics of this dynamic

Adverse consequences

Final Recommendations.

Thanks for listening to us, don't forget to like us, share and comment. We'd like to leave you with these questions: do you feel lonely in your relationship? Do you feel like you’re not getting your partner’s attention and thus you become hopeless? ... if you answer, "YES" this episode is for you.
