Why Empaths Always Attract Avoidants (The Hidden Psychology) | Dr. Gabor Maté

Empaths don’t try to attract emotionally unavailable people. Yet the pattern keeps repeating. This powerful talk inspired by Dr. Gabor Maté reveals the hidden psychology behind why empaths are so often drawn into relationships with avoidant partners—and why these connections feel intense, confusing, and painful. From a trauma-informed perspective, relationships are shaped less by logic and more by the nervous system. Empaths and avoidants are often two sides of the same early wound. Empaths learned to secure connection by tuning in, giving, and accommodating. Avoidants learned to survive by shutting down, distancing, and staying in control. Together, they recreate a familiar emotional dance. This speech explores: Why empathy becomes over-functioning in relationships How avoidants trigger the empath’s fear of abandonment Why intensity is mistaken for intimacy How childhood attachment patterns repeat in adult love Why healing begins when empathy stops being self-abandonment Dr. Gabor Maté teaches that we don’t choose partners who are good for us—we choose partners who feel recognizable. Familiar pain feels safer than unfamiliar peace. This message is for: Empaths stuck in emotionally one-sided relationships People exhausted from chasing closeness Those confused by hot-and-cold love Anyone ready to break the empath-avoidant cycle You weren’t too much. You were meeting someone who was too defended. And awareness is the first step out. 🎧 Listen with honesty. This one brings clarity where there was confusion.
