Episode 42 - Avoidant or Unwilling? How Attachment Styles Can Make or Break Your Relationship with Dr. Jon Dabach

Avoidant—or Unwilling to Change? How Attachment Styles Can Make or Break Your Relationship ——— Is he avoidant—or just unwilling to change? Laurel House sits down with couples counselor and relationship coach Dr. Jon Dabach to break down the four attachment styles—secure, anxious, dismissive-avoidant, and fearful-avoidant—and how each can strengthen, strain, or slowly destroy a relationship. They dig into the anxious-avoidant cycle, what happens when different attachment styles collide in marriage, how a secure person can begin behaving anxiously in an unstable relationship, and how to tell the difference between someone who is struggling, resistant, unwilling, or truly immovable. Dr. Jon also explains why empathy can sometimes become dangerous, how compassion is different, why some avoidant partners don't become willing to change until they're pushed, and what genuine change actually looks like. Because understanding why someone behaves the way they do can help save a relationship—but it can also become the reason you keep explaining away a pattern that is hurting you.
