So you develop usually what we now call generalized anxiety disorder, where you're flooded with anxiety.
If it gets too intense, you get panic disorder and panic episodes.
If you've had trauma that resolved in this, then you start developing PTSD signs.
You start showing that if it's really intense, you start developing some of the other mental health challenges.
And all of this builds out into what we now call the medical model of psychology of you have a disorder.
Your chemistry is wrong.
We don't know why.
Take these three pills and talk to a therapist for the next 50 years, and hopefully you'll just barely be able to scrape out a living.
And that's the model we run today.
A lot of psychology, unfortunately, when I was going through school, the answer was we don't know why people have these mental disorders.
We just treat them.
And that sounds...
terrifying that's why that's one thing that started me on my mission of trying to figure out what's causing it so we see the rise of anxiety we see pursuing aggressively pursuing partners instead of friendships or mentorships or community people try to focus into the biggest return on investment which is a partner which will give you an overwhelming flood of the chemistry you're looking for and they look for that saturation with one person who is not going to have proper boundaries so they don't pull back and make you wait to bond they give it to you all right right at the up the front but

I do tend to see this in work.
I work with a lot of executives who, if they're avoidantly attached, they cannot bond to their teams.
They cannot bond to their co executives.
They can't bond to their co founders, to their board of directors.
They rise through the ranks incredibly fast and build an amazing company and then stall out and get pushed out or burn out of their own company because no one is loyal to them or bonds with them.
Usually they have medical issues about 45, sometimes cancer or heart attack, sometimes 55.
