The problem with the Withholder is they are actually full of feeling... it's a feeling that Withholder has, is, uh-oh, you're gonna use this against me somehow.
Ever wondered why some people pull away just when things start to get close in a relationship? In this episode of 'Breaking the Chains: Overcoming Addiction and Codependency,' Love Coach Heidi Rain takes us on a journey into the lives of withholding codependents. These are folks who, despite having deep feelings, hold back from their partners due to fears of vulnerability and being hurt.
Heidi dives into the core traits of these individuals, including their tendency to cycle between emotional bingeing and restricting, and their often painful attraction to 'clinger' personalities. She also highlights their heightened sensitivity to neuroses, which can make relationships feel like a minefield. Through her compassionate lens, Heidi explains that understanding these patterns is crucial for anyone dealing with intimacy issues.
She discusses the coping mechanisms withholding codependents often use, like fantasizing about sex with strangers, and stresses the importance of breaking free from trauma bonds. This episode isn't just about identifying problems; it's about finding solutions. Heidi emphasizes the need for self-love and recognizing that everyone deserves healthy love. By raising awareness and fostering healthy masculinity, she offers a path towards breaking toxic patterns and building fulfilling relationships.
If you're looking to understand more about intimacy struggles or seeking ways to heal from codependent behaviors, this episode is a must-listen.
