Fearful Avoidant Support Group

Do you:

• Fear abandonment while also fearing too much closeness in relationships
• Get overwhelmed by emotions and feel volatile in relationships
• Feel exhausted and confused in relationships as they bring triggers and fears to light
• Crave and simultaneously distrust deep connection
• Experience extreme highs and lows in relationships
• Find it difficult to trust others in romantic relationships and are often suspicious

If you answered ‘Yes’ to many of the above statements, fearful avoidant attachment patterns may be negatively influencing your relationships.

In adulthood, those of us with fearful avoidant attachment patterns often struggle to feel safe in relationships.

A highly-sensitive nervous system may lead to lots of dysregulation and reactivity.

We may crave deep connection while also fearing vulnerability.

In short, it can be a wild, wild ride to have fearful avoidant attachment patterns.

As part of this new monthly series, I invite those who recognise they lean fearful avoidant to join me in deep diving into the different behaviours, actions, thoughts, emotional patterns and relationship expectations of this attachment style.

To kick off the monthly series (July 3rd) we’ll explore the relationship between emotional enmeshment and the fearful avoidant attachment style.

Emotional enmeshment is a dysfunctional relationship dynamic characterised by blurred boundaries, excessive emotional closeness and a lack of personal identity. Emotional enmeshment can occur in family, romantic relationships and friendships.

When there’s emotional enmeshment in our early relationships with caregivers we often subconsciously believe that love and connection is something we earn through meeting the emotional needs of others.

Healthy boundaries and open communication are key to overcoming enmeshment and building secure relationships.
