    Moving From Fearful Avoidant Attachment to Secure Attachment

    Looking for help dealing with anxiety and trust issues in a relationship? Today on we're talking all about the fearful avoidant attachment style and how to navigate this attachment style to a secure attachment. Dealing with anxiety in a relationship can be really tricky, especially when our fears and reality were shaped by traumatic or negative relationships with caregivers. Unfortunately many of our trust issues and relationship anxiety stem from the attachment style we formed in childhood. The 3 steps to help you move from a fearful avoidant attachment style to a secure attachment are: 1. Look into therapy to start healing from your trauma 2. Confront your relationship anxiety and trust issues by naming your fears out loud 3. Do daily affirmations. Remind yourself out loud that you're worthy of love and deserve a trusting relationship.

Today we're talking about how to move from a dismissive avoidant attachment style to a more secure attachment in your relationship. 3 relationship tips we discuss: 1. Practice being vulnerable in small ways 2. Practice being curious about your emotions. Notice when you feel like shutting down, and instead, talk about it in your relationship 3. Practice self-awareness and learn what healthy boundaries look like. Is it really a healthy boundary, or are your dismissive avoidant attachment tendencies kicking in?

  6. Attachment Styles Explained

    Attachment Styles Explained

    The Love Brain dives into the four attachment styles - anxious attachment, dismissive avoidant attachment, fearful avoidant attachment, and secure attachment. An attachment style is the way we attach ourselves to a partner. Attachment styles explain the way we act in our relationships. Depending on our attachment style, we do different things to seek for comfort, love, and belonging. The anxious attachment style comes from a belief that others are trustworthy, but you are unlovable. Anxious attachment makes you feel like you have to earn love and constantly seek reassurance from your partner. The dismissive avoidant attachment style comes from a belief that you are lovable, but others are untrustworthy. Dismissive avoidant attachment makes you feel like can only rely on yourself and are skeptical of people who say they love you. The fearful avoidant attachment style comes from a belief that others are untrustworthy and you’re unlovable. With a fearful avoidant attachment, you feel desperate for and simultaneously terrified of love and intimacy. A secure attachment is the goal. Partners can create a secure attachment when they are accessible, responsive and engaged with each other and strive to be each other’s support system and safety net.
