101 - DATING - Attention Is Not Intention: Breadcrumbing + ‘But The Sex Is Amazing’

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?’-----------------------------------------
