Surface-level ideas about Attachment Styles are not helping most people have healthier relationships.
In many cases, they're making matters worse:
- "He is Avoidant", as soon as he starts taking his time to respond.
- "She is too needy/anxious", as soon as she has needs.
- "I need you to be more in your masculine/feminine", as a way of controlling each other's behaviour.
This is not done intentionally.
It's misguided pop-psychology & ungrounded spirituality - and it's damaging people's chances of love.
It's a lack of embodied secure attachment skills - replaced with ideas and relationship theories.
Almost all relationship advice encourages people to have an Outside-In perspective, which sounds empowering on the surface:
- How to spot an Avoidant
- How to spot red flags (but not your own blind spots)
- How to spot a high value woman / a real man
This leaves people disempowered - and often resentful.
Because the focus is all on other people - other people have all the power.
So if things don't work out, then others are naturally to blame.
Securely Attached individuals in healthy relationships? They have a VERY different approach.
They became Secure by focusing on their OWN healing journey.
- By learning how to co-create emotional safety - not just expecting it from others.
- By learning how to communicate in safe ways - not blaming others for getting defensive.
- By learning how to be an emotionally safe partner - not believing they already are.
- By learning how to inspire others to meet their needs - not simply feeling entitled to it.
- By becoming a genuinely Secure partner - not just hoping they magically meet one.
Secure Attachment is about having an inside-out approach to life. And it is deeply empowering & healing.
It gives people the power to truly change what's happening in their love lives - and even many other areas of their life.
Most relating advice is encouraging the complete opposite - and that's why dating is such a struggle these days for so many.
Deeper, personalised and science-backed attachment healing work changes lives.
Everyone can become Secure as an adult - but the first step is recognition that something new is needed.
A new perspective. A fresh approach. A bit of humility.
This is what has helped many of my clients finally become Secure as adults, even after they had done years of therapy, breathwork, etc.
