Passive vs. Rigid Anxious Attacher: Two Faces of Anxious Attachment
from LET’S TALK ATTACHMENTS · host Jessica Da Silva, LMFT
Not all anxious attachers look the same. In this episode, I explore the Passive Anxious Attacher, who protects against loss by shrinking back, and the Rigid Anxious Attacher, who holds on tightly to feel secure. You’ll learn how to tell the difference, why both stem from the same fear of abandonment, and how to begin moving toward secure connection.💛 Learn more about my Attachment Coaching Services or book a free Clarity Call through the link here.
