# 130 - The Psychology of Craving Depth & Why That Might Attract an Avoidant
Ask The Lemon Tree Coaching Podcast a Question. Text the TLT Pod today.
In this week’s episode of The Lemon Tree Coaching Podcast, Dr. Allison Sucamele explores the deep psychological craving for emotional depth — and why this very yearning often attracts emotionally avoidant partners. If you’ve ever longed for intimacy, truth, and vulnerability but found yourself with people who shut down or pull away, you’re not alone.
We’ll unpack attachment theory, the pursuer–distancer dynamic, and how craving depth can mirror back what avoidant individuals fear most. You’ll also learn how inner child wounds and repetition compulsion fuel this cycle — and, most importantly, how to break free. With insights from Carl Rogers, Brené Brown, and other leading psychologists, this episode reframes depth not as a flaw, but as a sacred gift to be honored wisely.
