A Man's Guide To Avoidant Attachment

Talking points: attachment, mindset, relationships, psychology


The last “A Man’s Guide” was a big hit. I had a feeling it would be, but the response still surprised me! Next up, a serious breakdown of avoidant attachment. Here's the definition, where it comes from, the signs, and tips for moving away from it in a relationship.


This is a great episode to listen to with your partner. Take notes, discuss, and see what comes up! Lastly, thank you to everyone who reached out with comments, questions, ideas, and gratitude. I love doing these longer-form presentations; it means I get to nerd out and really lay things down.


(00:00:00) - Intro

(00:03:56)- Defining secure attachment versus avoidant

(00:06:51) - Attachment styles don’t mean you’re broken or diseased in some way

(00:08:20) - What an avoidant attachment style ultimately is, where it comes from, and one major type many men embody

(00:15:12) - One major origin point of avoidant attachment: emotional distance or unavailability

(00:23:59) - Another major origin point: premature independence

(00:26:44) - And the third: rejection of attachment

(00:29:27) - Last one: inconsistent responses and emotional stability

(00:33:49) - Signs of avoidant attachment in your relationship

(00:40:39) - What to do if you’re with an avoidant partner

(00:50:43) - What to do if YOU are the avoidant partner!
