Latest / Mindful Success Path / Why He Pulls Away & The "High-Value" Boundary That Brings Him Back
Transcript
- 0:32there's a moment in every relationship, even with a good husband, where the energy shifts, he gets quiet and he feels distant, and for most women, this triggers an immediate panic response.
- 0:44What did I do?
- 0:45Is he leaving?
- 0:46Does he still love me?
- 0:47Is he going to abandon me?
- 0:49And if you react from that fear, you're going to chase him, smother him, and actually push him away.
- 0:55But if you know what I'm about to share today, then you will realize that his distance is actually your greatest opportunity to deepen his attraction to you.
- 1:05And today we're gonna be talking about the difference between a man resetting his nervous system versus running away because he is uncomfortable.
- 1:14And we're also gonna be talking about the energetic boundary that you must hold to bring him back closer than ever before.

- 1:43Lately, we've been talking a lot about relationship dynamics.
- 1:47What happens when men pull away feminine energy, and not just the metaphysics behind this, but also a lot of the biology behind this.
- 1:54And this is based on my 15 years of experience coaching women in different areas of their lives.
- 2:00If you wanna go deeper, make sure to download our free, enhance your Feminine Energy guide below because it's gonna walk you through how to use feminine energy in different areas of your lives, including your relationships, including in a moment like this, where a man pulls away.
- 2:15And it's a really good starting point to understand feminine energy, what it is, how to use it in your life, and how it can improve your life as a woman.
- 2:25So let's get into it.
- 2:26You've probably heard of the man cave.
- 2:29The reality is that a man cave is biological.
- 2:33So first we have to assume the best.
- 2:35In a healthy dynamic, a masculine man processes stress internally, he goes into the cave.
- 2:43if you're into reading tarot, I liken it to the hermit in tarot where he's at the top of the mountain in the cold and he's got his lantern and he's looking up the star and he's in tonal solitude.
- 2:54That's kind of what happens when a healthy man pulls away.
- 2:59When a high value man pulls away, when a healthy man pulls away, it is not to attack you because unlike the feminine US, we tend to process through talking.
- 3:10We tend to process through connection, and the masculine actually processes through silence and solution finding.
- 3:18It's basically self-regulation.
- 3:20It's how a man regulates his nervous system.
- 3:23He is pulling back in order to recharge so that he can return to you as his best self.
- 3:30And the mistake that most women make is trying to drag him out of the cave before he's ready.
- 3:36It's like trying to wake a sleeping bear.
- 3:39It doesn't lead to connection, it just leads to conflict and it's important to understand what can trigger a man going into the cave.
- 3:48So for example, maybe he has work stress.
- 3:51Maybe he's working harder than ever.
- 3:53Maybe he's busy.
- 3:54Maybe there's some sort of other internal conflict that he has going on.
- 3:58Maybe he's grieving, maybe somebody passed away.
- 4:01There's so many different reasons why a man will feel the need to withdraw a little bit to go regulate his emotions.
- 4:09Oftentimes, you also have to remember that masculine men thrive on challenge in solving problems, and they're not going to dump all their emotions.
- 4:17On their women.
- 4:19In fact, women don't like it when men dump all of their emotions on them.
- 4:23It's funny how a lot of women say, oh, I just wish he was more sensitive and more in tune with his emotions.
- 4:29And then when men are in tune with their emotions a little bit too much, it's a total turnoff for women.
- 4:35And that's because a lot of the women who say that don't understand the differences between men and women, how our nervous systems respond.
- 4:41To conflict how we respond to the world, how masculine energy is different, how feminine energy is different, how polarity even works.
- 4:48And what we try and do on this channel is demystify all of that so we can have less conflict in relationships.
- 4:54So once again, make sure to subscribe if you are into that kind of content.
- 4:59So let's get into what to do when your man starts distancing himself.
- 5:05And don't worry, we're gonna get into what healthy distance is versus unhealthy distance.
- 5:11So strategy number one is the trust boundary.
- 5:13This is for a healthy distance.
- 5:16So how do you respond when the distance is healthy?
- 5:19Meaning he's kind, but he's just quiet.
- 5:22He's just figuring stuff out.
- 5:24You set the trust boundary, and this is a boundary against your own anxiety.
- 5:29So the strategy is to match his energy, but to stay warm.
- 5:34If he steps back 10%, you step back 10%.
- 5:38Not to punish him, not as a form of making him do anything but to mirror the dynamic.
- 5:44You do not need to ask him, are you okay?
- 5:4710 times a day?
- 5:48You say it once you say, I'm here if you need me, and then you pivot back to your own life.
- 5:55The other thing that you wanna do, because this is true in most cases, is you wanna assume that he's just handling his business and he always comes back to you.
- 6:05So when you give him space to process his emotions or process, whatever stress he has going on in his.
- 6:11Life without punishing him for it.
- 6:14You become his safe place.
- 6:16You become what men call a safe place to land.
- 6:20When they've been busy working all day long or when they've had a stressful time, he is going to come back from that cave seeking you because.
- 6:29You didn't make the stress about you or something that you did, because oftentimes the stress has nothing to do with you.
- 6:38And a lot of women and people in general just need to learn when their partners and their spouses are going through stuff.
- 6:45So for example, if I know that my husband's going through work stress.
- 6:49I'm not making, you know, his distance or him being at the office more, or him, uh, figuring stuff out on his computer.
- 6:58I'm not making it mean anything about me.
- 6:59I know he's just stressed about work and he's just trying to figure stuff out.
- 7:03Strategy number two is the standard boundary.
- 7:06So this is for unhealthy distant.
- 7:09Now you might be asking, okay, but what if the distance is not healthy?
- 7:13What if he's cold?
- 7:14What if he's dismissive?
- 7:16Or what if he's leaving you in the dark four days?
- 7:19Now, this is where the divine feminine sets a hard boundary.
- 7:23We do not accept mystery.
- 7:25That feels like disrespect because when a man is creating a healthy distance and he's just regulating himself, he doesn't cut off communication.
- 7:34He doesn't disappear for three days.
- 7:37He doesn't stop doing his routine.
- 7:39He just goes a little quiet.
- 7:41That's all that happens.
- 7:42That is completely different from a guy who's cold or dismissive or disappears for days or weeks on end.
- 7:51That is a very different situation, and that's where we have to put in a boundary.
- 7:55So the strategy here is the clarify and release method.
- 7:59So you don't chase, you don't beg, you just state your standard calmly.
- 8:02So the script for that would be, I've noticed you've been distant.
- 8:06I wanna give you space if you need it, but I also need connection.
- 8:09Let me know when you're ready to be present and then what do you do?
- 8:12You just release it.
- 8:14You stop initiating.
- 8:15You stop doing wife duties for a ghost.
- 8:17You focus entirely on your joy because an avoidant man will hear that and he will keep running.
- 8:24But a healthy masculine man will realize that he's losing your warmth and he will step up to fix it.
- 8:31So here's the do not do list When a man starts to pull away, and here's exactly what you want to avoid when his energy is distant.
- 8:41Number one, don't perform happiness, so don't pretend to be happy.
- 8:46If you are hurt, be authentic.
- 8:48Now, of course, this applies more to the unhealthy level.
- 8:52Of distance.
- 8:53This applies more to the ghosting, the going cold, the disappearing.
- 8:56You don't wanna pretend that you're okay when you are not.
- 9:00Number two is do not over function.
- 9:03So don't clean his house or cook extra meals to earn his attention back.
- 9:08Again, this is if he's being cold or dismissive or disappearing for days because that is a beggar energy, not queen energy.
- 9:18And number three is don't abandon yourself because the moment that you stop living your life to wait by the phone for someone who's disappearing on you, you've already lowered your value.
- 9:29He can feel the shift in energy.
- 9:32And the most attractive thing that you can do in the moments when it's unhealthy distance is be happily busy with your own life.
- 9:39In fact, I would venture to say that the most attractive thing you can do, even if he's pulling away in a healthy way because he's just processing something or has a challenge that he is trying to figure out.
- 9:49The solution to and goes into his man cave is to be happily busy with your own life.
- 9:54Because the mistake that women make is they feel that if a man pulls away.
- 9:59A lot of women don't know the difference between healthy pulling away and unhealthy pulling away.
- 10:04So what happens is they go into panic mode, and when they go into panic mode, they make all the mistakes that actually kill attraction and make him very annoyed with you and make you.
- 10:15Very exhausted.
- 10:17So as a result of watching this video, number one, now you know the difference between healthy versus unhealthy pulling away so you know what's going on in your particular situation.
- 10:28For those of you who are married to good men, you can basically assume that he's just processing something and he doesn't want to drag you into it because that's usually.
- 10:37The case, healthy, masculine men are not dramatic and they don't tend to pull their wives into drama.
- 10:42They tend to go solve their problems on their own, like the Hermitage in the tarot.
- 10:47So now that you know that, that can already start easing your anxiety, so that's.
- 10:52The first part.
- 10:53The second part is if it's healthy, you also want to have your own life.
- 10:58So for example, like I said, if my husband's going through a lot of work stress or something, and he spends more time in the office, I got my own stuff going on.
- 11:05I've got this YouTube channel, I take care of myself, I've got hobbies, and a lot of women have made their entire lives, either their husband or their families.
- 11:15So then that anxiety starts to, uh, kick in again because.
- 11:19Quite frankly, you've got too much idle time on your hands.
- 11:24And our egos, um, they love idle time.
- 11:27Idle time is when your ego and your nervous system starts making up a bunch of stories about why everything is wrong and nothing is working, and you're being abandoned and everything is falling apart.
- 11:38So what you wanna do is you wanna go build your own life.
- 11:41And I talk about this a lot in the high value women transformation program.
- 11:45I originally made it for single ladies, but you know what, A lot of the stuff in there also works for married women or married in long-term partnerships because I talk about how do we build this full life.
- 11:57I also talk about how do we express ourselves in a more feminine way so that if you are hurt for whatever reason, um, or you have some sort of conflict going on, you know how to respond in those situations in a more feminine way.
- 12:13So I want you to remember that distance is a magnifying glass.
- 12:16It either shows you his emotional maturity because he's going to go regulate his nervous system and he's not going to emotionally vomit all over his wife.
- 12:25Or if it's unhealthy distance, and I already explained what that looks like.
- 12:30It shows his inability to.
- 12:33Either way, you have your answer and your power is not enforcing him to become close to you.
- 12:41Your power isn't staying so anchored and so regulated in your own worth that you are okay whether he is near or far.
- 12:50And when you get to that space, it makes you very magnetic.
- 12:54It's when husbands fall in love with their wives again.
- 12:56It's when, um, women who are dating, like they've got men coming at them all the time.
- 13:02So if this resonated, make sure to give this video a like, and tell me in the comments, does his silence trigger your anxiety?
- 13:10Let's talk about it below.
- 13:11Once again, thank you so much for giving me your time today, and I'll catch you on the next one.
