Deep dives

Understanding Dismissive Avoidant Attachment Style

Dismissive avoidant individuals often have a childhood conditioning that emphasizes hyper-independence, where each person is responsible for their own needs. This leads to a lack of understanding of interdependence in relationships. This attachment style tends towards counter-dependency or codependency, lacking the healthy balance of independence and reliance on others. Recognizing and addressing this conditioning is crucial in improving communication with dismissive avoidant partners.
