Ep. 29 - Working Through Trust & Hypervigilance as a Fearful Avoidant
Do you struggle with trust? If so, you’re not alone.
Trust is among one of the biggest areas of concern in modern dating and relationships, especially if you’ve experienced either big or small forms of trauma from ghosting, to cheating, to dishonesty, to abuse. As a result, you may feel overprotective, guarded, and hypervigilant when dating.
In some ways this intense awareness can be seen as intentional dating – being purposeful – however if you’re constantly questioning a person’s motives, it may be crossing the line into fear and reactivity, rather than purpose-driven intentional dating.
So how can you know the difference between when it’s fair to be protective and intentional from a secure place and when you’re being hypervigilant from a wounded, fearful place?
That’s what we discuss in this month’s Truer Love Stories’ episode with our guest, a fearful avoidant type, who finds herself stuck in fear and nervousness, even after being with a partner whom she felt was secure. Listen and learn as I provide her with clarity on her past relationship and guide her with some practical tools for how she can feel more intentional and secure going forward.

Ep. 28 - Breaking Free of the Anxious-Avoidant Trap
Do you repeatedly find yourself in new relationships that quickly end up feeling just like your last one that didn’t work out?
Do you notice that even with partners who initially appeared completely different from your last partner, the situations you find yourself in with them seem eerily similar to the ones you just got out of, such as being on-and-off again, unclear about their intentions, or feeling blissfully in love in the beginning, only for them to suddenly pull away and you don’t know why?
If so, you’re very likely caught in the most common of attachment dynamics: the Anxious-Avoidant Trap. The danger of this trap is that it operates at the subconscious level, so it can be tricky to get out of without the proper tools and awareness.
Listen and learn as Taryn guides her guest through breaking free from being stuck in the Anxious-Avoidant Trap.
