Dismissive Avoidant Attachment: Why Do I Pull Away? | Attachment Series Part 2
From Unfiltered with Lisa · 00:05:59
Show by Lisa Stefano
Why might someone want love and connection — but pull away when things become emotionally close?In Part 2 of our special Attachment Series, Lisa explores dismissive avoidant attachment and why independence, self-sufficiency and the need for space can sometimes become ways of protecting ourselves from vulnerability.We look at what may sit beneath withdrawal, why emotional conversations can feel overwhelming, and what can happen when anxious and dismissive avoidant patterns meet in a relationship.Most importantly, this isn't about labelling someone as uncaring or excusing hurtful behaviour. It's about becoming curious about what's happening beneath the behaviour — and recognising that independence and connection don't have to be opposites.🎧 Listen to Part 2 of the Attachment Series on UNFILTERED WITH LISA, available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.— LisaLife & Wellness Consulting
