Healing the Avoidant Heart: Understanding Emotional Availability

In this episode Lisa  addresses the avoidant attachment style and offers insights into how it affects relationships and emotional availability. 

Lisa shares her personal journey of being avoidant, detailing how she mistook emotional numbness for independence and how this impacted her relationships. She explains the difference between self-regulation and auto-regulation, and why true intimacy goes beyond physical closeness to include emotional vulnerability. 

The episode emphasizes the importance of building internal safety and practicing micro-vulnerability for healing. Lisa also introduces her field guide, 'Loving and Surviving the Avoidant Partner,' designed to help both avoidant individuals and their partners understand and navigate their dynamics better.
