In a conversation with Sabrina, Mark Manson shares insights on navigating relationships from the perspective of an avoidantly attached individual. Drawing from his 12-year marriage, Mark emphasizes the importance of open communication and realistic expectations, especially in long-distance relationships. He advises having clear end goals and intentional conversations about logistics and contact frequency to maintain connection.  Diving into Mark's own avoidant tendencies, he and Sabrina explain how avoidance often stems from fear rather than lack of care or feelings. Mark highlights the significance of allowing space in relationships and how his wife's patience helped him transition from avoidant to secure attachment. For anxious partners, they stress the need to become comfortable with an avoidant partner's need for space, noting that healing happens through gradual trust-building.  Sabrina and Mark agree that understanding different standards and managing expectations are crucial for relationship success. Mark also touches on societal pressures, self-improvement, and the importance of addressing negative self-talk through journaling and mindfulness. Ultimately, they emphasize that thriving in life and love is about embracing challenges and fostering meaningful connections through honesty and self-awareness.

Learn about the different attachment styles in relationships, and join my guest and I for a discussion about anxious attachment in this episode. My guest is Jennifer Nurick, clinical psychotherapist, couples therapist, energy healer, and author of “Heal Your Anxious Attachment.” Some of us have a secure attachment style, while others have a type of insecure attachment style: anxious, avoidant, and/or disorganized. Attachment styles develop in childhood. People with anxious attachment need a lot of closeness in relationships, because their caregivers were only sometimes available. Avoidants learned to rely on themselves because their caregivers were not available, and need a lot of distance in relationships. Disorganized attachment, caused by a trauma background, have the need for both closeness and separation. Jennifer talks about how people with the anxious attachment style can become secure in relationships. We also talk about why anxious attachment styles are attracted to avoidants, how to make a relationship like this work, and why women are often attracted to unavailable or avoidant men. Learn more about Jennifer and her book at psychotherapycentral.health.

Avoidants are the hardest of all attachment styles to get back.  Dating/relationship expert Lucia reveals the 2 things you must do to get your avoidant ex back.  Get coaching!Download Silenzio App:  iPhone OR AndroidRead No Contact Secrets Book

Avoidance is a style of relating to other people, often driven by past trauma, that can make you feel overwhelmed and anxious even thinking about connecting with other people. If you've ever dating an avoidant person, you know how painful it can be to feel like you can never pin them down for plans, or get a commitment from them. And just when relationships start to feel like they're going somewhere, the avoidant person will disappear for days or weeks at a time. Avoidants pull away from closeness, even when they want it. And ironically, what avoidant people are sometimes drawn to, is people they can't have. There's a weird kind of safety for avoidants in a relationship that can't go anywhere.

Avoidants have feelings, but they may not be what you expect. This episode shines a light on the complex world of avoidants, revealing how fear and control can mask genuine emotions. You ever notice how avoidants act nice but push others away? You ever notice that you could be one? Do you build walls when triggered? Yeah, it's not coldness (and if you've been accused then you know how that feels), it's fear. Tracy dives into the psyche of avoidants, sharing insights into why they behave the way they do and how they can break free. Whether it's understanding your own avoidant tendencies, learning how to interact with an avoidant in your life, or seeking a path to real love and connection, in this episode, Tracy provides practical steps towards self-awareness to navigate these challenging dynamics. No more confusion or frustration—embrace a sincere journey towards empathy, understanding, and growth. Tune in to find the path to recognizing and addressing avoidant behavior, unlocking the potential for healthy, happy relationships.

Welcome to the ATTACHMENT STYLE Series! Today we discuss the SECURE attachment style. Did you know that the quality of the bond you developed with your parents in the first months and years of your life determines how you bond with your romantic partners? You can develop a secure attachment or an insecure attachment style (anxious, avoidant, or disorganized). This work is called Attachment Theory and episodes 40-43 dive deeper into the different attachment styles. Want to know your style? Click HERE to take a quick quiz! And check out the following episodes to take a closer look into each attachment style: Episode 40: Introduction to Attachment Theory Episode 41: Secure Attachment with Eli Harwood @attachmentnerd Episode 42: Anxious Attachment with Erika Straub Episode 43: Avoidant Attachment with Adam Lane Smith Today you will be hearing from Eli Harwood also known as “attachment nerd” on her social media handles.

Are you searching for a unicorn? I'm talking about someone whose specialness makes everything in life seem amazing. Someone you are (and forever will be) attracted to, who will never upset you or trigger you, who you'll always have a deep physical connection with. Like unicorns themselves, this romantic idea you're invested in is a fantasy. Love exists with another human who is flawed by nature. In this week's episode we'll look at what keeps you searching for unicorns (if you're an Avoidant or Anxious Avoidant, pay particular attention). The kind of “perfect” love you're looking for is only in the pages of a fairy tale. It's a place where pain doesn't exist… which is where many Avoidants like to live. You can continue searching for what is unrealistic, or you can look inside and deal with whatever emptiness, pain, and anxiety you're feeling. Because unconditional love does exist. It's just different from what you're looking for.

In today's episode I discuss three sub Reddit posts related to attachment theory/attachment styles. One person asks for advice from the dismissive avoidants. One person wants to know if anyone has had success with psychedelics for their insecure attachment style. And fearful avoidant seems to be bored with dating people who don't have a troubled past.  Attachment Test: http://www.web-research-design.net/cgi-bin/crq/crq.pl
