  • Do you ever find yourself dodging tough conversations , or skilfully change the subject when things get a bit too real in your relationship? 
  • Do you keep people at arms length? 
  • Are there other parts of your life and relationship that you are avoiding, such as suppressing certain feelings, or putting off making certain decisions? 
  • Do the ways you avoid lead to feeling inadequate, not good enough or self doubt.
  • Does avoidance create more conflict with your partner?

This episode explores the pervasive issue of avoidance in relationships and why men tend to pull away from their partner. 

Avoidance is something many of us do—sometimes without even realising it—and it can quietly chip away at your relationship and your self esteem.

  • Why do many blokes often pull away?
  • What are the belief systems that create avoidance in your life?
  • How does facing up to and changing these patterns actually bring you closer in your relationship, or closer to your own values. 
  • Practical steps designed to change patterns of avoidance

If you’ve ever wondered why you tend to steer clear of the deep and meaningful stuff in your relationship and your life this is the episode for you.
