In this episode of Unrelenting Pursuit, we’re diving into avoidant (dismissive) attachment — the style that often says, “I’ll handle this myself.”
Avoidant attachment isn’t about not caring. It’s about learning early on that emotions felt unsafe or overwhelming — so independence became protection.
We explore how this plays out in:
Marriage — withdrawing during conflict, struggling to verbalize emotions, and appearing distant even when committed.
Parenting — emphasizing independence, minimizing feelings, and offering solutions instead of empathy.
Leadership — strong and decisive, yet sometimes intimidating or emotionally unavailable.
If you’ve ever felt more comfortable being self-sufficient than emotionally open, or are married to someone who is, this episode is for you.
As always, we would love to hear from you! If you need any additional information about our 2 day Marriage Reboots, Coaching, Speaking Events, or Resource click here.
