237. When Emotions Feel Unsafe: Inside the Dismissive Avoidant Mind

from Lit AF Relationships

Do you feel like you can only rely on yourself or that it’s a sign of weakness to share your feelings? If so, this episode is for you. I share why the dismissive avoidant attachment style is brought up to think they need to be independent. I also share why the dismissive-avoidant is cut off from their emotions. If you’re in a relationship with a dismissive avoidant this will help you understand why they need so much space and why feelings are so hard for them. Discover your attachment style to break free from old relationship patterns.
