For some of us, the greatest threat isn’t a toxic relationship it’s a healthy one.

In this powerful conversation, philosopher and psychotherapist Alain de Botton explains why people with avoidant attachment pull away when love starts to feel real. When intimacy deepens, it can feel overwhelming. And instead of leaning in, many withdraw.

This episode explores:

• Why good love can feel dangerous
• The psychology of avoidant attachment
• The myth of soulmates and romantic destiny
• Why love is a skill not just a feeling
• How true love is about overcoming isolation

If you’ve ever sabotaged something good because it felt “too intense,” this conversation will change how you see relationships.

This episode shares professional psychological and philosophical insights for educational purposes. It is not a substitute for individualized therapy, mental health treatment, or medical advice. For personal concerns regarding attachment or relationships, consult a licensed mental health professional.
