The concept of avoidant attachment was first developed by British psychologist John Bowlby in his mid-20th century theories of attachment. In his study of the parent-child relationship between infants and mothers, he found that infants' dependence and security on their mothers was crucial to the development of mental health.
Thanks for this valuable insights! I think I have an avoidant attachment style, but I’m not really sure why. I grew up in a very loving and healthy family. Perhaps it has something to do with me being an undiagnosed neurodivergent person that tried so hard meeting peoples expectations for many years.
I’d suggest doing some inner work with yourself and try to find out the root of the behavior. Once you do then its easier to detect and change the present in moments of avoidance. Seeing a therapist is something I’d suggest to everyone regardless of the attachment style. The start is self awareness which from your comment means you already have, so you can only get better from there if you actively observe and choose your actions wisely.
This makes sense because it is an attachment style - the avoidance only gets triggered once he feels attached. Liked.
Your videos are first-class :)
I enjoy them so much, thank you for helpful and authentic information!

What if I’m the avoidant? How can I make a healthy attachment?
