Is your anxious-avoidant relationship doomed?
Instagram attachment culture says yes — but top couples therapist Julie Menanno says the opposite. In this episode of The Authentic Man Podcast, we break down the three negative cycles every anxious-avoidant couple falls into, why protest-retreat dynamics keep you stuck, and how attachment theory actually gives you a roadmap to heal.
If you're in a relationship with an avoidant partner — or you're the avoidant one — this conversation on emotional regulation, conflict resolution, and breaking the anxious-avoidant trap is the one you need before you give up.
Julie Menanno, MA, LMFT, LCPC, is a licensed marriage and family therapist, licensed clinical professional counselor, and relationship coach specializing in attachment and couples dynamics. Her approach is rooted in the Emotionally Focused Therapy model, and her ability to translate complex clinical concepts into accessible, practical tools has earned her a loyal audience of more than 1.3 million people across social platforms.
