5 Tips for the Avoidantly Attached


Feel free to share this with anyone you know who is working with the avoidant style.

If you are working with avoidant attachment, your keyword is CONNECTION. 

Some questions to ponder, especially during tricky times:

How do I hold myself and not distance myself in this moment?

In this moment, what would be a brave step forward?

Rather than withdrawing and being silent, how can I let my partner know what is going on for me?

Can I tell them that I need a moment and I will return?

Although I’m feeling a strong impulse to be alone to soothe myself, can I stay in the same room as my partner?

In this moment, can I let support from my partner come in?

How would I like to receive that support? Let me know in the comments
