Takeaways Aven felt a calling to be a therapist for many years. Conflict often masks deeper emotional needs in relationships. Attachment styles influence how partners react in conflict. The negative cycle in relationships is not about blame but about patterns. Feeling rejected often leads to either pursuit or withdrawal in partners.
