The Pursue and Withdraw Dynamic

So let's take a look at some of these really negative ways of thinking, ways of being, and especially ways of reacting in our relationships. A big, really super common one is what I would call the pursue and withdraw dynamic. A lot of times in relationships, you have the pursuer, the chaser, and you have the runner or the avoidant person. It feels like someone's always trying to talk. The pursuer is always trying to talk things out, always trying to work on things, always trying to get more love, more attention, hold on to the relationship. And the other person. Person tends to either be passive in that or even just sort of outright, almost like run from that, like, literally leave the relationship, either physically or emotionally.
