Or not enough?” This is what it feels like to live with an anxious attachment style—especially when you're in a relationship with someone emotionally avoidant. The connection feels real… but so does the pain. And the confusion. And the exhaustion.

Unfinished Business was an idea conceived between Paul Ferris and writing partner Reg McKay. When Reg passed away in 2009, Paul got on with his life.
