What Avoidants Crave During Intimacy (But Can’t Say Out Loud) | Avoidant Attachment
In this 28-minute motivational deep dive, we explore “What Avoidants Crave During Intimacy (But Can’t Say Out Loud)” – the hidden emotional needs behind their distance, shutdowns and confusion.
You’ll learn what happens inside an avoidant’s nervous system when things get close: why they can enjoy connection one moment and suddenly pull away the next, why their body goes into “threat mode” when someone gets too emotionally close, and what kind of intimacy actually feels safe for them instead of overwhelming.
We’ll break down the difference between real intimacy vs performance intimacy – how avoidants can act present on the surface while emotionally checked out underneath – and what they truly crave: emotional safety, non-judgment, freedom to be imperfect, and space that doesn’t feel like abandonment. You’ll also see how to protect your own heart and needs, so you don’t twist yourself into someone unrecognizable just to keep them close.
