OPENHOUSE with Louise Rumball and leading therapists - A podcast by Louise Rumball - Mondays

Categories:

Sometimes they’re interested, sometimes they’re not. Always texting but nothing ever moving deeper? One foot in, one foot out? Been hurt before so they don’t want to commit just yet? Do these situations sound familiar? In today’s Q&A episode, Louise jumps into another OPENHOUSE Session with Dr. Tari Mack as the pair discuss why people might be inconsistent, hot and cold, and whether it can be overcome. The pair discuss: What is breadcrumbing? How breadcrumbing blocks true intimacy How it ties to being emotionally unavailable? The connection between attachment theory and breadcrumbing The concept of being able to ‘sit in intimacy’; and  Identifying the fear that is driving breadcrumbing and inconsistent behavior The pair also discuss why avoidants can sometimes come on hot, or warm, not always cold and Louise asks ‘is breadcrumbing ever emotionally manipulative?’ ----------------------------------------- ⭐ Want more Home Truths, Voice Notes from Lu and bonus content?
