Deep dives

Understanding Fearful Avoidant Attachment Styles

Fearful avoidant attachment styles are characterized by a push-pull dynamic in relationships, where individuals desire connection but simultaneously fear it. This conflict often leads them to select partners that trigger their deepest wounds, particularly after the initial honeymoon phase ends. The subconscious mind significantly influences their choices, accounting for 95 to 97% of their beliefs and actions, meaning they gravitate towards familiar chaos instead of healthier connections. This tendency stems from a history of chaos in their upbringing, where they become comfortable with instability, equating it to safety.
