They unpack how anxious attachments often struggle with unrealistic expectations, such as needing constant communication and validation from their partner, which can lead to feelings of insecurity and hurt.

Thais and Mike also explore the fearful avoidant’s deep desire for transparency and connection, and how their need to know everything about their partner stems from a fear of losing the relationship. Through open and thoughtful discussion, they provide practical strategies for creating healthier, more secure relationships by balancing these attachment needs with understanding and communication.
