A lot of people believe that "avoidant attachment" behaviors are solely related to attachment, but there are a lot of personality traits that get subsumed under this framing. In this episode, I discuss how people vary on different dimensions of personality, and what you may be thinking of as an "avoidant attachment" spouse who just needs to heal attachment wounds and will then come forward with more love and interdependence may actually just be a person who is NOT Highly Sensitive and is NOT wired to deeply attach.
