Has therapy helped anyone break a pattern of emotionally unavailable partners?

I seem to spend a while single, then I meet a guy and he turns out to be what I would describe as emotionally unavailable or avoidantly attached. They end up breaking it off or disappearing. This has happened a few times and I think I am potentially anxiously attached or I am too accommodating with people.

I'm considering therapy to help address this, has anyone had any experience of this and did you find it useful? Or did you find it sufficient to reflect on things yourself and not seek therapy?

Absolutely, I had several relationships/ situationships like this and I realised I was choosing these men for a reason. I had counselling for about a year or so which really helped me unpick why I was doing it. Now in a great relationship with an emotionally available man!
