My mission is to help those with avoidant attachment patterns feel less alone, less broken, less blamed, less doomed, less confused, and more empowered to learn new and fulfilling ways of relating.

About The Loving Avoidant

The Loving Avoidant project began in 2020 as an Instagram account addressing a stark lack of popular resources for avoidant attachers looking to grow. Though this has improved in the last few years, most previously available content often left the avoidant perspective and experience out entirely, or represented it only in surface or overly simplified ways. Too often, this content was even biased, alienating, or demonizing.

The anonymous author of this content is an avoidant-leaning human with a bachelor’s of science in psychology and is on the path to training as a therapist. While this formal education journey underpins the content associated with this project, it is also openly derived from personal experiences and observations, exploratory philosophy, hundreds of casual conversations with hundreds of people regarding their attachment experiences, and continuous independent research using both academic and popular sources for more than five years.

While academic, peer-reviewed research is the foundation for some of what is shared within this project, then, the author does not claim to produce or share purely empirical information. The content herein is therefore not meant to be used as a scientific academic resource, nor is it meant to advise, counsel, diagnose, or prescribe.
