In this insightful episode, we explore the unique needs of dismissive avoidants during and after conflict, revealing key strategies to foster reconnection and harmony.

Discover how to transform conflicts from divisive moments into opportunities for deeper understanding and closeness, using tools like direct communication, positive reinforcement, and acts of service.

Learn the art of "re-bonding" to restore trust and safety after disputes, and uncover why harmonious communication is essential for avoidants to open up.

Whether you’re navigating these dynamics yourself or in a relationship with an avoidant, this episode offers practical advice to create stronger, more secure connections.
