#51: How to Initiate Hard Conversations with an Avoidant Partner

from On Attachment · host Stephanie Rigg

In today's Q&A episode, I'm sharing tips for initiating hard conversations with an avoidant partner. This is a question I get a lot - how to express needs to an avoidant partner, how to set boundaries, how to share feedback. These conversations are already intimidating for many anxiously attached folks, and when combined with the sensitivities of the avoidant partner, can be a perfect storm. We cover:how to set yourself up for success in initiating hard conversationsthe importance of a regulated nervous systemtips for reaching a mutually beneficial outcomehow to cultivate greater safety during conflict & challenging conversationsHighlighted Links Free Break-Up Training: The 3 Shifts That Help Anxiously Attached People Heal After a Break-up Free Training: How to Heal Anxious Attachment and (Finally) Feel Secure in Life & Love Additional Resources Download the FREE Anxious Attachment Starter Kit here Join my email list 💌 Explore my library of free guides, classes & meditations Visit my website
