My Anxiety or Her Avoidance?

from The Secure Husband · host M. Bruce Abbott, M.A, CPC

You may feel confused in your marriage. You may wonder if your anxiety is the problem, or if your wife’s avoidance is the real issue. The truth is that many anxious husbands feel lost trying to figure out what is their wound and what is her distance. This episode explains how both patterns can exist at the same time.In this video, I share a real coaching example. You will see how anxious attachment comes from childhood pain and fear of rejection. You will also see how avoidant attachment comes from a deep fear of closeness and emotional pressure. You will learn how each attachment style pushes the other away and keeps both people stuck.You will learn simple questions that help you understand what comes from your past and what is happening right now in your marriage. You will also learn why healing does not always make the marriage feel better at first. In fact, you may feel more pain once you stop trying to earn love. That pain is actually clarity.If this feels like your story, you can sign up for a free 30-minute consultation. It is just a conversation about what is happening in your marriage and how coaching might help. There is no pressure and no sales pitch. It is simply a chance to talk and see if it feels like a good fit.If you struggle with life, marriage and relationships and are ready to thrive,check out the resources from Certified Professional Coach Bruce Abbott at https://SecureHusband.com.#deadbedroom #marriage #sexlessmarriage#MarriageHelp#SaveYourMarriage#SecureHusband#MarriageAdvice#RelationshipHealing#SelfWorth#InnerChildHealing#MensMentalHealth#SelfLoveJourney#EmotionalHealing#OvercomeRejection#HealthyMasculinity#MarriageCoaching#StopPeoplePleasing#SelfGrowth#attachmenttheory#attachmentstyles#anxiousattachment#preoccupiedattachment#attachment#avoidantattachmentAll content is for informational purposes only and does not provide medical or psychological diagnosis or treatment.
