## Resource

An avoidant usually always makes a return, but should you let them? You may be asking yourself, why are they coming back? Why would the person who couldn’t commit come back? Is it curiosity, closure, or control? Well, in this episode, Kristen discusses what to do when the very person who left you decides to return, how to avoid repeating the cycle, the psychology behind the pattern, energetically detaching from the dynamic, and why rejecting an avoidant may be the best case scenario.
