@thepottymouthguru: One of the reasons this dynamic becomes so painful is that both people are often trying to solve a problem that was never created by the relationship. They're trying to solve an old wound. The person who learned to earn love is often asking: 👉 How do I become important enough to stay connected? The person who learned to need nobody is often asking: 👉 How do I stay safe without depending on anyone? Neither question is really about their partner. They're old survival questions. That's why these couples often feel stuck. They're trying to resolve childhood strategies with adult relationship tools. Healing begins when each person realizes: My partner is not the original source of this wound. They're just standing where the wound gets activated. And that's a very different conversation. ❤️🤟🏻🌿 #unfuckyourself #thepottymouthguru #attachmentstyles #relationaltrauma #relationships
…why does it seem like, in this example, only one of the people actually cares about the relationship?

No one talks about what healing looks like for these partners. The anxious and avoidant dynamic is talked about in nauseam but no one explains what it looks like after that dynamic is healed or how to get there

The Pottymouth Guru :
The relationship isn't creating the wound. It's exposing the places where healing is still needed. ❤️🤟🏻

My husband realised this before me and put time into learning how to not pursue when I get distant, which has allowed me to come closer without pressure, which then fills his cup and mine at the same time. He is truly amazing.

Discovering Integrated attachment theory was a literal life changing experience for me and all of my relationships, including the relationship I have with myself 💖

karijo2035 :
Love this! This is definitely my husband and I and we both been in a lot of Therapy so now I'm not equating his distance too. I'm not worthy of love and he's not equating me needing connection as a threat. But it's still hard cause I gotta talk myself through my own issues and realize his attachment doesn't equal my Worth and he has to do the same. We are now empty nesting together and it's been a crazy dynamic and we're both so damn codependent too… We probably should've got divorced, but unfortunately, we love each other like crazy… Lol therapies helped a lot.

Sometimes I think I'm a unique individual and then I watch videos like this and have someone describe my relationship.
