The High Maintenance Relationship: Embracing the Drama (Together!)

Join us in this episode where we talk about pursue/pursue cycles. These cycles are created when both partners have an anxious attachment style. When disconnection or ruptures occur in the relationship, both partners can clash like a fiery volcano, then quickly go dormant until it erupts again. Underneath the emotional explosions are two people who desperately want to feel secure in their relationship, but strive to repair ruptures too aggressively. They can appear critical, demanding, or controlling in an effort to reconnect, which sets their partner off to utilize the same coping style. We discuss ways to deescalate these cycles and how both partners can learn to take comfort in one another by showing up in a more vulnerable way which emphasizes the need beneath their anxious exterior.
