Healing Insecure Attachment Jun 22, 2025

What if I told you that you ARE actually needy? That when you are accused of being too much, it ISN'T a lie, but it is not for the reason that you think! This week, I unpack a bunch of discoveries I've made for both anxious and avoidant attachments. I also made some enormous perosnal strides this week, I share about my incessant need for attention (maybe it's the attention I was deprived of as a kid, I am sure y'all will relate), fear of looking uncool, and finally understanding how destructive my current patterns are in my battle for inner security. I also answer a few listener questions, such as how to let go of someone who isn’t right for you (but you still miss) and what to do when an avoidant gets disrespectful, plus a special twist at the end.

They always come back, don't they? I hate being a statistic, but this week I embarked on a very questionable quest in the middle of an anxiety attack. In today’s episode, I unpack my anxious avoidant patterns with a few wild stories.

Also, at the end, I'll give you a 15-minute masterclass on flirting with people in the wild. Let's do it!

Building Self-Security Jun 08, 2025

Today, I'm going off-script, but on script, it's weird. I break down the steps of what it truly means to build self-security. I discuss the trap of chasing external validation and how real happiness lies in the uncomfortable journey inward. I unpack how to stop molding yourself for acceptance, why true worthiness isn’t based on your achievements, and how taking vulnerably risky action will lead you to the authentic relationships you've always wanted. If you’re constantly worried about reactions or if you’re scared to show your true self, this episode is your reminder: the peace you’re seeking is already within you.

I discuss the struggle of having high standards versus navigating avoidant attachment.

This week I welcome Rieya on the show! Rieya is one of my current clients, and this week she shares her story about how you end up in a relationship where you abandon yourself, ignore the red flags, and chase breadcrumbs.

We also talk about what emotional abandonment really looks like, how to break that people-pleasing pattern, and why your self-worth can tank when you're trying to “fix” someone who won’t even fix themselves.

Triggered Feb 16, 2025

Do you get easily triggered?

Overcoming Fear of Rejection Jan 13, 2025

Everybody’s scared. Scared to put themselves out there, scared of looking needy, scared of being turned down. And that fear? It’s keeping you stuck. Ghosting, playing games, hyper-individualism—this is modern dating, where everyone sits behind a screen hoping something magical just happens. In today's episode, I share why the fear of rejection is a self-fulfilling prophecy designed to keep you stuck. I then detail all the different walls you subconsciously put up to avoid the intimacy you crave. This isn’t about erasing fear; it’s about owning it and moving anyway. Confidence is being bold enough to ask for what you want and sticking to your standards. Let’s talk about how to stop playing small, stop settling, and stop hiding who you are.

It's the season finale!! This will be the last episode until January 6th, 2025! It's been a crazy year filled with tough lessons, transformative moments, and some serious inner work.

Unrequited Love Dec 02, 2024

Unrequited love, also known as one-sided love, is when someone has romantic feelings or a strong desire to be close to another person, but that person doesn't feel the same way. If you have ever really cared bout someone, you know how hard it is when that love is not returned. How long do you hold on knowing that what you want or need is not fully fulfilled? At what point is enough enough? In this episode, I share a personal voice note expressing my unreciprocated feelings and set the hard boundary I've been so reluctant to address. I also shared a video on why some women unconsciously push serious men away from them. You can't control when someone is ready for you or even ready for themselves, and sometimes, that truth can be hard to swallow.

What happens when you catch feelings for someone who might not see you the same? Do you share your true feelings or play it cool?

I then tackle your question on how to heal self-abandonment after experiencing losing yourself in an unhealthy relationship. Someone also submitted the statement, "I've worked on myself so much now I'm unrelatable and addicted to being alone." This week's audience question is about deciding if she should confront her ex on a major lie, which she found out after the breakup.

Taming the Avoidant Oct 21, 2024

You asked me, "If an avoidant is hot and cold... saying he loves me, then ghosting me... is there any way to get his initial version back and rekindle the relationship? He reminds me of you, Chris."

Yikes!! (Spoiler alert: You're not wrong!!)

This week’s episode is a full deep dive into avoidant attachments and the nuances of dealing with an avoidant partner.

I start by breaking down the two types of avoidants: disorganized/fearful avoidant versus dismissive avoidant. I'll explain their differences and how you might develop these attachment styles. I also open up with a very personal story about my own experience leading to my own avoidant tendencies.

From there, I'll give you the full playbook on communicating and setting boundaries effectively with an avoidant partner. Together, I will help you determine if getting your relationship back on track with an avoidant is possible.

If you're currently dealing with an avoidant—or see yourself in the avoidant attachment style—you’re going to love this episode.

Happiness Trap Apr 08, 2024

In this episode, I reflect on my recent success finding high levels of happiness and self-confidence. I also discuss my new approach to dating and how I vet potential partners. Can people really be straightforward with their intentions? Do guys really know whether or not they want to date you as soon as they meet you? Setting boundaries and staying disciplined to your goals takes a level of focus that is not easy to maintain. It's actually tremendously uncomfortable to make difficult choices for yourself, especially when you care so much about other people.

Have you ever been sent home all riled up and ready to go? This week, we go inside the minds of men who have been pushed to their edge. Speaking of what's going on in his head, does a guy following girls mean the end of a relationship? Why does his instagram activity look like a warzone of hot chicks and booty-building workouts?

Boys Lie Mar 11, 2024

I've been struggling for the past few days with releasing this. A lot of people feel that some things are better left private. I have to think about the feelings of others (especially the girl I hurt + whom I care about the most); I also think about how others will perceive me. Something I have always stuck by is that I am going to tell my story as it is, in good and bad, no matter what, and set a standard that for better or for worse, I am going to give you my truth exactly how it happens. This week, I didn't show up honest in my truth, and I paid the price of hurting someone who means a lot to me. I can't go back, can't change it, but I can take accountability, and I can learn from it. Here is my manifesto to stop avoiding hard conversations and uncomfortable actions and learn to face uncomfortable truths.

Not That Into You Mar 05, 2024

A meeting with my therapist set off an inner conflict in me that pushed my long-distance situation to the edge. Can love in the talking stage really survive a cross-country distance? I also asked y'all the question "is he playing hard to get, or is he really not that into you?" A lot of people wondered can a man really be playing hard to get? Maybe it's more of determining if he's really into you, so I react to some of your situations such as sleeping with your boss, hanging out without going on dates, and if he asks for more time. Can you settle for something good if you know you want something great?

Detachment Jan 22, 2024

After a few week-long hiatus, I figured it was time to come back to tell my story. In this episode, I face the paradox of detachment: I give some guidance on how women can best combat their attachment to the wrong men while facing my own problems trying to detach from work. Speaking of work, have you ever dated someone who does the same thing as you? Also, it seems like this long-distance situation really has a chokehold on me, but is there enough to close the gap?

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: I will be taking LIVE CALLERS from now on as I will be recording live every week on Youtube every Wednesday 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (Pacific), tune in and I can answer your questions live on the show!

Piss Poor Mood Dec 18, 2023

Have you ever been in a piss-poor mood, and you just can’t shake the feeling? Woof, well, here you go, an episode where I am sarcastically battling my whirlwind of shitty emotions. I explore how even those who “have it all together” can easily find their way into a victim mentality and a negative mindset. I’ll discuss why I feel this way and my attempts to work out of it. I’ll even touch on how my childhood patterns start reappearing when I am not feeling my best and how I project MY bullshit, especially onto those closest to me. Here’s your reminder to check yourself: Are you actually doing the things that make YOU happy?

Let Go of Control Dec 11, 2023

It’s been a while since the last podcast. It feels good to be back! Boy, a lot has happened, from a crisis averted to meeting a girl with all green flags (team wholesome?) and evaluating some serious life choices. Can a major roadblock lead to a better path forward? Maybe so, but change is uncomfortable as a mother fucker, and can have you feeling more stuck than you've ever been before. To get out of your rut, you must remind yourself of the things that truly light you up, what really matters, and take action. Let’s explore how your obsession with possession can push you further away from the things you so deeply desire.

Mature Ejaculation Nov 20, 2023

Disclaimer, feeling a little raunchy this week and it might be because of my celibacy update. As I dive into this episode starting off with a bang (literally) and quickly I’m reminded to always trust my intuition. I talk about the big question everyone asks, “Is being intimate on the first date really an issue” and how mental and sexual connections can differ amongst partners. I then tackle signs you’re just not into them, which might make you realize they actually aren’t into you.

Bullied Nov 13, 2023

I hope you have some thick skin because this week, I react blindly to all the reasons you have gotten bullied. From extraordinary boob sizes to unappealing features and clever verbal attacks, I will help you relive your trauma one last time. Before we get into that, I tell a story about how I approached a girl at Circle K, why I am going to stop giving out my Instagram, and how a girl roasting me turned into a dispute about the right reasons to get bullied.

Gym Crushed Oct 30, 2023

Is love in the air, or is it just the scent of post-workout endorphins? In this episode, I explore the latest joys, uncertainties, and surprises that have come from befriending Gym Crush 2. I play a voice note I sent her, which will show you an inside look at how I communicate boundaries when it comes to my personal relationships. This episode is a two-part special where I recorded the first half earlier in the week. With such rapidly changing developments, I had to include an additional segment after things took another unexpected turn. It's avoidant versus avoidant in the battle of who can confirm and deny love all at the same time.

Why Do Men Oct 23, 2023

I asked y'all to finish the sentence "why do men..." and you did not disappoint. I cover why men lovebomb, why men cheat, if they regret it, why men lie, why it's hard for men to be vulnerable, and why men leave and come back. Before we get into that, I talk about how I've been replacing my time since I have been off the cooch and how I want everyone to be on drugs at my funeral.

Coach vs Therapist Oct 09, 2023

coach vs therapist ... welcome to the show, my friend Benita. We tell the story of how we first met and discuss how platonic relationships with the opposite sex are not always what they appear. Benita, a licensed therapist, hits us with some hard truths and her delusional alter ego's perspective on a night out with hot strangers. We then answer your dating questions; we touch on boundaries, staying patient, juicy asses, plan b, situationships, secure attachments, and where to find all the good guys. Two different perspectives, two different moods, let's call it group therapy. #datingcoach #therapist #therapy #therapistvscoach #coachvstherapist Work with Me: https://confidencechris.com/coachingapplication/ Ask a Voice Question: https://sayhi.chat/confidence Website: https://confidencechris.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/confidence_chris/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@confidencechris

Icks Oct 02, 2023

Ick ... not all stories have a happy ending, but all endings bring new beginnings. The hardest goodbyes don't happen because you want them to but because you need them to. If you're not pushed to your edge, you won't ever grow, so even when things get hard or uncomfortable, you try to trust yourself and show gratitude for the blessings you do have.

After I shake off the emotional energy, I get to your icks! Y'all submitted text and voice icks for me to read and react to. We talk about women liking sweaty men, their ugly exes, masculinity, making plans with women, keeping your house clean, men's hairstyles, men running, trying to act cool, clingy men, and a lot of other random icks.

Some girl then talks about sleeping with some sus twins, a man that doesn't have all his body parts, and even a time I got a texting ick. See how bad you give someone ick, or maybe even acquire new icks you have never thought of before. It's icky out there.

Assumptions Sep 25, 2023

Self-love is off to a rocky start ! I have a friend date with gym crush and talk about the lingering confusion around my long distance situation. My journey of non-romance leads to some awkward encounters and adapting to the life of self-pleasure has me thinking weird thoughts. I tackle some of your assumptions a lot which are calling me gay, how insecure you think I am, and how you think I love the toxic life. I give my response and clear up any confusion. Although there are some good ones that put me into deep thought.

Inside the Mind of an Avoidant Sep 12, 2023

How do avoidant's work? How can you love someone who is so resistant to connection and intimacy? Why do they attract the anxious?

In this episode I open up about feeling lost, stuck, and unworthy. I tell a story of how my inner turmoil is a pattern that has my relationship on the brink of failure and how the current results of my life have been a direct correlation to the wounds of my past.

In an attempt to heal those wounds, I open up about the darkness of my past and try to uncover, analyze and overcome the feelings of shame and guilt hidden in my childhood. Throughout I provide detailed examples of how certain experiences have made me someone who can't trust love and why I yearn so deeply from acceptance from others.

I also discuss why a rampant desire for intimacy with multiple partners could be a potential addiction that needs a deeper look.

Stop The Cooch Sep 07, 2023

Are you done with cooch?! Well, so am I! In this episode, I introduce my new perspective on friendships with the opposite sex. I break down all the interactions I had with the women in my life as I attempt to start creating more meaningful connections.

My extreme focus on my self-reflection journey also brought up some underlying feelings of guilt and shame. Some of those feelings were warranted as I missed crucial dates for some of my close loved ones. This caused me to reflect on the nature of my life and the importance of those closest to me.

This week I started taking your voice questions: topics included your lifelong twin flames, navigating life when you decide to stop partying so much, how to approach your gym crush, and dating as a high-value woman.
