Show Notes

In today's episode, I'm sharing 5 ways to support a partner with a fearful avoidant (AKA disorganised) attachment style. The fearful avoidant attachment style is often considered the most complex and challenging of the attachment styles, characterised by a conflicting push-pull between wanting intimacy and fearing it.

We'll cover:

  • the betrayal wound and the importance of honesty & openness in building trust
  • striking the right balance between compassion & firm boundaries
  • how to make the fearful avoidant feel loved & appreciated
