Breakup to Blessing

Avoidant Attachment Ep. 126


Listen Later

In this episode of Breakup to Blessing, we're diving deep into avoidant attachment—what it really looks like, where it comes from, and how it shows up in relationships. If you've ever experienced "the ick," felt overwhelmed by emotional closeness, or found yourself pushing people away without really knowing why, this one is for you.

We explore:

  • The connection between avoidant attachment and the "ick"
  • Why avoidants may idealise partners early and then suddenly devalue them
  • The push-pull cycle of anxious-avoidant relationships (and why it's so common)
  • How avoidant/avoidant couples often mistake emotional distance for compatibility
  • Practical steps you can take to move toward secure attachment and deeper intimacy

Whether you're single, dating, or in a relationship, this episode offers self-reflection tools and healing strategies to support your journey toward healthier, more fulfilling connections.
