Keep connected! Let me know if there is anything you need support with!
When a child pushes love away—rejecting affection, escalating after closeness, or withdrawing—it can feel confusing and personal. In this episode, we explore how attachment patterns and nervous system protection shape these responses. You’ll learn how parents can offer steady, low-pressure connection and how therapists can reframe rejection as protection to reduce shame and support relational repair.
