The Twin Flame Runner’s Journey: From Fear to Awakening
The intense and inexplicable bond between two halves of the same soul often triggers deep-seated fears and unresolved emotional wounds, potentially leading one partner to become the “runner.”
The twin flame runner typically experiences overwhelming emotions, a fear of vulnerability, and a deep-seated fear of the intense connection.
This fear often manifests as a need to distance themselves, resulting in the classic runner-chaser dynamic.
The Initial Stage: Fear and Denial
The journey of the twin flame runner begins with an intense fear of the connection. This fear can stem from past traumas, unresolved emotional wounds, or a fear of losing one’s sense of self.
The runner may feel an overwhelming need to escape the intensity of the relationship, leading to denial of their feelings and the connection. They might convince themselves that the connection is not real, that it is merely a figment of their imagination, or that it is too good to be true.
During this stage, the runner often engages in behaviors that distance them from their twin flame. They may seek solace in other relationships, distractions, or even numbing behaviors to avoid confronting their emotions.
