The Withdrawer

 

Show Notes

Synopsis

Listen in this week as the therapists dish and dive about The Withdrawer.

Behind every good pursuer is a good distancer. Iona is married to one and Pam is one, so its a charged topic. Learn how they each cope in their own marriages and learn what it is that The Withdrawer is truly feeling underneath the cool exterior.

It’ll surprise you how much is under there. Also, learn what the distancer really longs for and how the pursuer can give it to them, if they don’t retreat into withdrawal.

Understand your stance in the cycle so you can get what you need from your partner and from your relationship.
