42. Dance of Attachment Part 2: Avoidant Attachment (The Solo Tango)


Listen Later

 Ever felt like your partner just needs too much space, or maybe you're the one pulling away when things get too close? In today’s episode of Speak Honest, we’re diving into the fascinating rhythm of avoidant attachment—what I like to call “The Solo Tango.” Avoidant attachment is all about independence, self-reliance, and finding comfort in a little distance. If you're wondering why intimacy might feel overwhelming or how to bring closeness into a relationship without pushing someone too far, this episode is for you! I’ll share insights on the roots of avoidant attachment, what it looks like in real-life relationships, and my favorite scripts for building connection with an avoidant partner without pressure. Let’s explore how to bring a balanced rhythm into your dance of connection.

You might want to listen if:

  • You feel distant or disconnected in relationships and want to understand why.
  • You’re trying to connect with a partner who seems to avoid emotional depth.
  • You want to learn gentle communication strategies for avoidant partners.
  • You’re curious about how avoidant attachment develops and affects relationships.
  • You’re seeking a compassionate approach to bring closeness without feeling overbearing.
