Welcome to the ATTACHMENT STYLE Series! Today we cover the AVOIDANT style.

Did you know that the quality of the bond you developed with your parents in the first months and years of your life determines how you bond with your romantic partners?  You can develop a secure attachment or an insecure attachment style (anxious, avoidant, or disorganized).

This work is called Attachment Theory and this series (episodes 40 - 43) dive deeper into the different attachment styles:

Today, in episode 43, you hear from Adam Smith also known as “AttachmentAdam” on his social media handles. Adam is our “avoidant” attachment style expert and educates us on the qualities and characteristics that are unique with the AVOIDANT attachment style.

Adam has been working in attachment for most of his professional career, long before people knew what attachment was.  Adam "fixed" his own anxious style on his own which that led him to a lifelong desire to understand how humans connect and why they get broken.  Adam got his MA in psych under professors who worked int he field for decades.  He has trained other professionals on attachment, written books, courses, and now runs his own online brand.  Check out his links below to see what he's offering.
