♥ This collection 2 books in 1 includes:
◆ Dismissive Avoidant Attachment: the dismissive avoidant sees themselves as some sort of lone wolf. They feel that they don't need anyone and that nobody needs them. They can drift in and out of everyone's lives without causing any sort of emotional havoc and they like that lack of accountability or obligation.
They may also shy away when you open up to them. Feeling close can feel like a danger zone and so they avoid it.
◆ Fearful Avoidant Attachment: People who develop a fearful avoidant attachment style often desire closeness. They seek intimacy from partners. However, they may be unable to achieve the deep connection that they long for.
The reason for this is because their attachment experiences have taught them to be fearful of intimacy. In some cases, their personality leads them to reject close bonds. This can spur a cycle of rocky relationships and extreme emotional highs and lows.
The good news is that you can change the attachment style. It may take time, work and a great deal of understanding from people in life. However, it is possible to build intimate, secure relationships that fulfil and help you to feel safe.Understanding and managing the wounds of attachment is the best gift that you can give to your relationship.
