Manage episode 518716772 series 3302755
If your spouse ever seems emotionally distant, shuts down during hard moments, or “stays busy” instead of connecting, this episode will help you understand why. In this follow-up to last week’s conversation on anxious attachment, I’m diving into the five key traits of avoidant attachment and how they impact your marriage.
Whether this is your attachment style or your partner’s, understanding these patterns will completely change how you interpret their behavior and how you can respond in ways that build trust and safety instead of disconnection.
Tune in to discover:
• The core fear that drives avoidant attachment
• What’s really happening when your partner pulls away
• Why closeness can sometimes feel uncomfortable
• The link between logic, emotional shutdown, and invalidation in marriage
• How to build safety and closeness with a partner who tends to pull away
