Passive vs. Rigid Avoidant Attacher: Two Faces of Avoidant Attachment

from LET’S TALK ATTACHMENTS Hosted by Jessica Da Silva, LMFT

Not all avoidants look the same. In this episode, I break down the two common ways avoidant attachment shows up in relationships: the Passive Avoidant, who protects themselves by shrinking back, and the Rigid Avoidant, who protects themselves through control and high standards. You’ll learn how to spot the difference, why it matters, and how each can begin moving toward more secure and fulfilling relationships. Learn about Attachment Coaching with Jessica here.
