Relationship advice about avoidant attachment and ghosting that focuses entirely on describing the challenges of being avoidantly attached without offering practical strategies for WHY it happens and HOW to change it is far too common on social media! The myth that avoidantly attached folks are insensitive or uncaring completely erases the realities of HOW and WHY someone develops an avoidant attachment style in the first place! Avoidantly attached folks don’t lack emotions…they just get overwhelmed by them – so it APPEARS like they ghost on their own emotions. However, this isn’t a conscious or voluntary choice! When triggered, the human nervous takes over. And we don’t control it – it controls us! The first step in recovering the ability to feel and to hear about others’ feelings without being triggered is to develop an “emotional navigation system” that allows you to increase your comfort with your own feelings. “BUT WAIT, Erin! What do I actually do when MY emotions collide with my sweetie’s? When they’re upset, I feel criticized, and my automatic reaction is to get defensive, shut down, or retreat?"
