What Happens When Both Partners Have Avoidant Attachment?

from Trauma Free Relationship · host Dr. Tom Philp

Join us in this episode as we discuss what happens when both partners have an avoidant attachment style. When ruptures occur, the avoidant styles create withdraw/withdraw cycles that can come to dominant the relationship, but not in a fiery way like other cycles. Withdraw/withdraw cycles create an icy coldness where neither partners knows how to feel safe enough to engaged, and neither partner wants to make things worse. So they retreat to their protective moves while longing for a closer connection. We discuss how to break out of these cycles and introduce the term "exhausted pursuer." Find out what it means and how to create a more secure connection in this episode.
