We were an anxious avoidant couple! 😳 BUT when BOTH partners work on things, it’s pretty wild how far we can come together. 🥹 I can’t believe how we used to talk to each other and treat each other… it was a lot of controlling and dependency and running away and keeping one another in the dark… no wonder we had such a rocky start! 🥴 But kind, secure, collaborative words and behaviors can be PRACTICED and LEARNED. 🧠 If you love your anxious/avoidant partner and CHOOSE to work on a relationship

The anxious partner feels ignored or dismissed, so they push harder, ask more questions, seek closeness. Not to overwhelm... but because disconnection feels terrifying. The avoidant partner feels pressured or criticised, so they pull back, shut down or minimise. Not because they don’t care, but because intensity feels unsafe. Both are reacting from old wounds.

Why do anxious and avoidant partners attract each other?Anxious attachers crave closeness and validation, while avoidants fear intimacy and tend to withdraw. Ironically, the anxious person is often drawn to the avoidant's independence, seeing it as a challenge to win them over. Meanwhile, the avoidant might be attracted to the anxious partner's emotional intensity, even if it feels overwhelming at times. This creates a push-pull dynamic that can lead to frustration and emotional distress. But wh

The anxious-avoidant couple are commonly drawn into a trauma bond. One chases connection and safety while the other deflects & avoids. They seek from each other what they deep down want to be able to give to themselves. People with anxious & avoidant attachment both have wounds of rejection (one of the 8 wounds in Inner Work Theory). They both fear abandonment & feeling "unworthy of love" - so they develop opposite coping mechanisms to handle their subconscious fears. - The avoidant partner uses

🌿THE ANXIOUS & AVOIDANT DYNAMIC🌿 This one hits deep 💔 because I’ve lived it, felt it, and worked through it — not just as a relationship therapist, but as a woman who’s also healing in love 💞 In my relationship, I have anxious tendencies — I crave closeness, reassurance, and connection.
