About this listen
You open up. You try to get closer. But the more you reach out… the more they pull away.
They need space. You need reassurance. And suddenly, what should be a relationship—feels more like a chase.
You overthink every message. Every pause. Every “I’m fine” that doesn’t feel fine at all.
And deep down, you wonder: “Is it me? Am I too much? Or not enough?”
This is what it feels like to live with an anxious attachment style—especially when you're in a relationship with someone emotionally avoidant.
The connection feels real… but so does the pain.
And the confusion.
And the exhaustion.
This audiobook is here to help you break that cycle.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:
- Understand the anxious-avoidant dynamic and why it keeps repeating
- Stop over-pursuing and needing constant reassurance
- Communicate without triggering withdrawal
- Manage your anxiety without needing them to fix it
- Set healthy boundaries while still honoring your needs
- And start building emotional safety—from the inside out
This isn’t about forcing someone to change.
It’s about shifting your patterns, healing your responses, and learning to love without losing yourself.
Because love shouldn’t leave you anxious. It should make you feel safe, seen, and grounded.
Start listening now—and begin your journey toward the secure connection you’ve always deserved.

Story
People in relationships with avoidants struggle with their lack of responsiveness and inability to tolerate real intimacy. Relationships between an avoidant and a partner of another attachment type are the largest group of unhappy relationships, and people who love their partners and who may have started families and had children with an avoidant will work very hard to try to make their relationships work better, out of love for their partner and children as well as their own happiness.

Overthinking is when your brain just won’t switch off. It feels like it’s stuck going around and around on the same loop as a hamster stuck on a wheel. But while the hamster is having fun and getting fit, you’re feeling lower and lower and burning out.
