Thanks for sharing these really helpful phrases. I guess the bottom line is how an avoidant can be more vulnerable, giving more of themselves to the anxiously attached partner, in the hope they feel settled enough to loosen their grip on the avoidant.

Hello! What a great article describing the experience of those with avoidant attachment. I’ll be sharing it with clients who want some insights and tools. Thanks, Patch
thanks so much, Beth! Of course many of these tools apply to folks anywhere on the attachment spectrum, but I find that these are the ones most often needed for avoidant-leaning folks.
