@kim_attachmentcoach: WHY can’t they FA have empathy when dysregulated and running, but have it when they are dysregulated and anxious? Because the foundation to empathy is VULNERABILITY. To have empathy, one must be able to be fully vulnerable & open. This is easier when anxious, but not when feelings are shut off, leaning avoidant.
Yeah, it’s wild. My ex before we broke up and she started pushing me away, she had so much empathy for me. But when her attachment flipped, it was like she could no longer access true empathy care or understanding of my experience. Soooo disorienting and traumatizing honestly.
