Show Notes
You never “need” anything. But underneath, you’re anxious, and wishing to feel more held.
In this episode, we explore what happens when high-functioning anxiety plays out in relationships — from early dating to long-term partnership.
And most importantly, how it impacts your ability to be met, supported, and chosen.
You’ll hear:
- Why overfunctioning can push love away — even when your intentions are pure
- How emotional management erodes polarity and leads to mothering
- The kinds of men we attract when we’re performing vs. when we’re rooted in self
- And what to practice instead — so you stop chasing safety and start receiving love
If you’ve ever said “I did everything and he still pulled away, why wasn't I enough?” this episode is for you.
