You're with a dismissive avoidant man and you want to make it work, but your needs aren't being met, conflict isn't being resolved, and there just isn't enough closeness.

In this episode we cover:

  • The shame wound behind his withdrawal and defensiveness
  • Why you can't do his growth for him
  • The one boundary that has to come first
  • Being realistic about how long his change will take
  • The part nobody wants to hear: your own work


This isn't about fixing him. It's about becoming a woman who can have a healthy relationship, with him or with the next man.
