Spot on. I've recently come to realize not everyone thinks much deeply abt things or wants to dig beyond the surface.. before, I thought everyone does.

I resonate with this. I always thought that digging deep into words, phrases, interactions, relationships is normal. Then I realised that it's not really the case for everyone.

I think our advantage as FA partner is that we are very loyal, committed and engaged in relationships from the moment we pass the insecure phase (it can take some years), we stop trying to run away from the relationship, we start to feel comfortable and love our life with our partner with all the goods and the bads, and we turn from being avoidant to being more anxious because we appreciate what we have. But its not like everything turn into heaven, we can get deactivated and leave if the partner will play shit on us, it will take more time than how much it took at start tho

This is so true.... FA's have a lot of self awareness and because of that we can go down the rabbit hole of research. The research can be quite damning and reinforce our feelings of worthlessness

You described so well the resentment of why do I can take care of others but no one takes care of me.. unfortunately I am very stuck on this idea and unable to discern sometimes when what I am asking for is reasonable and when its not.. answer is usually somewhere in the middle but when I realise I asked for too much I go into a shame circle.. I am doing your program, currently on module 2. Hoping to heal one day.

We are our own worst enemy. Fortunately, we also can be our best mate. We realize our value, we are priceless. Once we allow people into our thought processes, we asee how few can remain bc of teh complexity of seeing the bigger picture. A term we can use rather than fearful is cautious, that's how we survived. We recognized that the people closest to us were or are unable to provide what we desire.

Dear Paulien, Can you make a video about panic and fear? My FA boyfriend had one panic attack last week because of opening his heart to me and instantly, I feared I did something wrong and I never want to hurt him again. Like I caused it. But now after some time passed, I think panic attacks may be part of the healing process and can be normal, like: it gets worse before it gets better. 🤔

this has been the most beautiful, soothing and healing thing to hear in a while... I have also pinpointed the last point for myself over the past couple of months but haven't been able to put words to it and how to solve the feeling inside. feeling sad and full of justice (which borderlines being resentful) that I have always been there for others in a deep way, knowing exactly what they need to get better.. but nobody has been doing that for me. I guess looking for it in a partner but that is unfair and nobody (besides us FAs haha ;P) can read minds... the answer is to figure out my needs and how to communicate them - I'll be on that journey now 🙏

Listening to this one, I'm so moved as I resonate with it and it feels like a gift to be able to recognise myself within it. Thank you, thank you, thank you

It's cool to be able to tune in and understand a partners needs and this for me has given me so much, despite the roots of where this comes from. Learning and adapting is key to healing and understanding that our gifts are not used to heal others as being an unpaid therapist is draining 🤣🤣 good video.

Thanks for this! Sometimes I think that I’m not giving enough emotionally because of my FA tendencies, even though my partner tells me that I’m doing a great job. Sometimes I compare with how love should be given but slowly by letting go of what love has to look like and just go w it, I slowly start forgiving myself and learn to love my partner more better. Thanks for this vid! If anyone here has FA tendencies, just know you’re a fantastic person. You’re aware of your habits and you’re trying your best to love not only the person next to you but yourself as well!

Is it normal for a fearful avoidant to feel better or more worthy than the other one? Its like having yourself on a pedestal even though you're actually not that kind of person. It makes me feel horrible at times

Yeah they talk about this in the program. I think seeing yourself as above or below people is often kind of a way for FAs to protect/distance themselves from connection with others. It took me a while to even see that in myself. I think it's admirable that you recognized that on your own

One example is that we started a gratitude ritual during dinner time, mentioning three things we are grateful for. Or the Dreams and goals marathon, where me and my husband take three whole days between christmas and new years to reflect on the past year, dream about the new year and write out our goals!

A *healed* FA might make an incredible partner but my ex was an unhealed FA (I believe) and I can't say that she was an incredible partner after she suddenly ejected and left my heart shattered. Kinda left a bad taste in my mouth for FAs.

Well yes, an unhealed FA has amazing traits, but the pain and trauma makes it hard to see those consistently. That's why I'm making the clear distinction between healed and unhealed :) I'm sorry you went through that.
