Is it an epidemic? Do you attract them? What’s up?
A comment complaint I hear in my practice–especially, of course, from people who have #Hijackal parents, partners, or exes, is that S/HE IS NOT EMOTIONALLY AVAILABLE!
HIGHLIGHTS OF TODAY’S EPISODE:
- How to tell if someone is emotionally available…although, I’m pretty sure you know, right?
- Is it actually increasing? Are more people emotionally unavailable now?
- How we define ’emotional unavailability”.
- The impact of having emotionally unavailable parents
- Tips for dealing with an emotionally unavailable partner
- How limerence affects our judgment in choosing a partner
- and…why some women choose to stay in secret relationships with married men!
I belong to many groups on Facebook, and this is a common complaint there, too.
“I’m attentive, collaborative, loving, nurture, and even compliant, and my partner just doesn’t give anything back!”
Early on in a relationship that seems to be going somewhere good, you’re affected by limerence. Dr. Marni talks about this in today’s episode, that warm feeling when you’re falling love, in lust, or infatuation. She says it’s like being on cocaine. (I’m sure she’s guessing about that, right? lol)
So, if you’re ready to hear the truth about how you may have found yourself with an emotionally unavailable partner, you’ll be fascinated by today’s topic.
Oh, dear! Are you responding by becoming emotionally unavailable yourself? We talk about why you don’t want to fall into that trap….and, why it doesn’t work, either!
