Episode #22- The Anxious Partner And "Lots of Words"

Do you or your partner tend to over-explain, repeat yourselves, and pile on words when a conversation gets hard? In this Secure Love Club session, Julie Menanno explores lots of words, an extremely common anxious-attachment pattern, without a trace of shame. She shows how it can serve connection and how it can get a couple badly stuck in the negative cycle, why anxious partners reach for more and more words when they feel unheard, and what to do instead so your message actually lands. Julie also touches on the quieter avoidant version of the same dynamic. You will learn why more words often create more distance, how flooding shuts a partner down, and how to say less and be heard more. Warm and practical for anyone who has ever felt they had to keep talking just to finally feel understood. The full teaching and tools are inside for members.
