In Part 2 of our Healing Attachment Wounds series, we gently explore the dismissive–avoidant attachment style — the pattern of emotional independence that once served as protection but may now be limiting deeper connection.

Have you ever said, “I’m fine” when you really weren’t?
Told yourself, “I don’t need anyone” — even while feeling lonely inside?

This episode is not about labeling you as cold or distant. It’s about understanding how your nervous system adapted to survive. Dismissive–avoidant attachment isn’t about lacking feelings — it’s about protecting them.

Today, we explore how independence became your armor… and how healing invites you to expand your strength by allowing softness, vulnerability, and connection — at your pace.

You are not broken.
You are not too much.
You adapted. And now, you get to heal.
