when the anxious attachment becomes avoidant.

from A Little Birdie Told You · host Kristen Knight & Kelli Knight

Sometimes the pain of constantly chasing, waiting, and seeking love triggers a protective mechanism that leads an anxious attachment into an avoidant state. Whether it’s always being the one waiting for that reply, making excuses, giving until there’s nothing left, maybe the anxious finally gave up and became protective of their heart. Because at one point, the person who craved closeness is now afraid of it. In this episode, Kristen expresses the shift that sometimes occurs in an anxious attachment into the avoidant, learning to heal, and navigating relationships in a healthy way.
