Have you ever felt like the more you lean in, the more someone pulls away?
Or the moment you take space, someone panics?
In this episode of Breaking the Silence, Raynea and Kelli gently unpack what’s often called the anxious–avoidant dance....not to label or diagnose you, but to name a pattern so you can finally stop thinking you are the problem.
Together, they talk honestly about:
what anxious and avoidant attachment actually look like in real life
why texting and conflict can feel so activating
how both sides are simply trying to feel safe, using opposite strategies
and why not responding right away is somethmes a capacity issue
They also share personal insight around fearful-avoidant attachment, earned security, and what it looks like to care deeply while learning to honor your nervous system.
This is a shame-free conversation for anyone who:
feels conflicted inside relationships
loves deeply but tires easily
wants connection and needs space
is learning how to feel safe with themselves again
You’ll leave with a sense of clarity, compassion, and a few gentle anchor questions to return to when things feel confusing. No pressure, no fixing, just awareness.
We’re not rushing.
We’re not proving.
We’re healing.
And as always… we send you off with so much love. 🤍
