Hi Paulien, if you're reading this just wanna say thank you. Can we also get a chance to see how your husband held himself together while you were figuring things out? What was he going through and how did he feel during difficult times? Love your videos❤

[vorbis]

Don't follow your reason either, because fearful avoidants don't know what reason is either. When anxious, they use distorted (or fear-conditioned) feeling. When avoidant, they use distorted (or fear-conditioned, numbness-induced) logic.

Talking about the difference between logic and distorted logic might be useful too. Some of the reasons FAs give for breaking up are pretty outlandish. They magnify tiny things and apply standards to themselves they don't apply to their closest loved ones.

[GhostDad]

I’m not even FA and this is super helpful

[morningglory.]

I feel like this is such an important video especially due to the world we live in where breaking up is so normalised.. people dont understand working hard and growing together with that person
and usually when we “don’t feel” good etc. we blame our relationship even when the partner is actually genuine, kind, nice, etc. and we even like them yet think we have fallen out of love and call it a “healthy breakup” lol like what
i never understood this concept since its so stupid in my opinion and like lol me as a growing FA, I believed that when i wasnt aware that it was unhealthy FA behaviour..
i just wish it wasnt so normalised so people could have genuine connections

[IKFKSwitch]

I find that my most passionate, lustful feelings tend to show up for chaotic people, or people whose attachment styles would result in a chaotic dynamic, (incompatible.) The mess excites my nervous system. I tend to drift towards avoidant types.

[koala]

Those feelings of relaxation, calmness (even the mind would stop thinking), peace, belonging are what I want and finding them in a person recently freaked me out and we triggered each other for this (not sure who triggered the other first)😢😢

[Nipponsuki]

As a FA I have been struggling with staying in my long term relationship. Since I can't use emotion, or even logic it's harder for me to know if we need to go on different paths or if I should stick in it. It feels wrong to leave a relationship with someone who is super kind, caring and emotional available and intelligent and who has put up with my B.S. but my fear of losing that safety is keeping me stuck in kind of a limbo gray zone that I hate.

[DockClock-rpro]

I think there needs to be some leeway with the "Not having kids" phenomenom.

It's relatively new.
It should largely be up to the person that doesn't want kids to make that clear, as they are the outlier in this situation.

There's also a lot of fear around this, and FA's should consider that when making the decision.

[chaii_latte]

Oooof. I love your channel.. thank you for being here 🩵💙

[Getmeouttahere]

I love the depth your videos have to offer because they really challenge me to reflect on myself, my needs, and my motivations. Two contradictions that stood out:
The FA needs a perfect relationship and the FA / DA dynamics. I've always wondered why I choose avoidant partners, but when you said it allowed the FA to control intimacy, it made SO MUCH SENSE. Thank you for the time and investment in helping our healing. ❤❤❤

[triplejmom]

Great video, but not even a secure attachment style should follow their heart. There are many factors in a healthy relationship. Respect for this video.

[dzi]

Hi Paulien, for me it's exactly the opposite. I feel pressure when being in a relationship (burden of responsibility of not hurting the other person, in short) and the thoughts of leaving bring the feeling of relaxation. So I think this is strongly individual.

[jellyrcw]

I love your channel. Love is a verb as much as it is a feeling ❤

[clorofemully]

Perfect timing for this, thank you! I’d love to hear more of the insights from your research on happy couples :)

[russellnorton]

So good. I wish I had understood this as a young adult.

[Godlovesyouunconditionally]

Paulien I just wanna say you are awesome. Wonderful message. I love you and wish you all the best ❤

[Caroline_Thedeathofa_sho-brut]

My ex used to tell me that he felt "relaxed" with me only...
But a month ago he said he lost the feeling of love so we broke up and haven't talked since
I still don't get it... It happened out of nowhere...

[minalali]

Can you pls make a video on how fearful avoidants act when not feeling important or prioritised . I have noted that I feel extremely jealous when my bf prioritises basketball over me even tho in reality it's a healthy balance.

[brianh]

Hey Paulien, thank you for all the thoughtful information and experiences you've shared. I do have a question that is really important to me and I would love to see you address this in one of your videos. Basically, my question is how do you relate your framework and own journey to larger cultural patterns in the fabric of humanity that affect how we relate to one another may or may not be natural or healthy? In particular, the extent to which we organize in nuclear family/dyadic partner relationships, and the ways in which attachment theory may have been subtly influenced by these cultural norms so that it has a particular bias or could be missing certain factors because of the particular lens it uses.

When youtube started to recommend videos on attachment a year or so ago, I found the information quite intriguing and helpful, but it also brought up a lot of questions. Where was the talk about social and cultural factors through a systemic lens? What about the ways in which collective traumas that affect us all in different ways (war, oppression, poverty, patriarchy, etc.) are influencing how we relate and attach? What about your attachment relationship to nature, to the land? What is missing in the attachment theory that grew out of industrial western capitalism?


I would love to see you address this topic from your own experience and journey. I think it would be very beneficial for many people that are trying to navigate attachment trauma while also navigating the healing of collective trauma and seeing the need for broader cultural shifts to address economic and ecological crises facing our planet. Thank you for reading!

Hi I like that you are talking about that topic and I know the need for explanation, but Id like to know more about the solutions how to start leaning more from FA to secure
