Have you ever found yourself or someone close to you pulling away in a relationship? Is it disinterest, or could it be rooted in attachment style?

In this episode, we dive deep into two common insecure attachment styles: Dismissive Avoidant and Fearful Avoidant. We explore their key differences, surprising similarities, and how these patterns can influence love, friendships, and family dynamics.

Learn how these attachment styles form, the emotional struggles they face, and how to recognize these behaviors in yourself or loved ones.

Plus, we’ll share insights into how you can heal from these attachment styles to cultivate healthier, more secure relationships.
