Why Good Girls Fall for Bad Guys – The Anxious-Avoidant Trap Explained

  • Summary

  • Why do good girls fall for bad guys? It’s deeper than you think. In today’s episode, Coach Mel reveals the truth about the Anxious-Avoidant Trap—why so many relationships feel like an emotional roller coaster and how to break free from toxic cycles.

    🔹 What You’ll Learn:

    • The three attachment styles: Secure, Anxious, and Avoidant.

    • Why Anxiously attached people crave closeness and approval.

    • Why Avoidantly attached people run from commitment and intimacy.

    • How these two attachment styles are magnetically drawn to each other—but for all the wrong reasons.

    • Why the drama and emotional highs of these relationships can feel more addictive than drugs.

    • How your childhood patterns may be influencing who you’re attracted to—and why.

    • Steps to break free from toxic, unhealthy dynamics.

    • 💡 "Opposites attract, then they attack."


    Whether you’re single or in a relationship, understanding your attachment style can completely change how you approach love.
