Description

Ever feels like your avoidant partner never wants to do anything during the holidays? 

Avoidant attached persons can have a love/hate relationship with holidays and it had everything to do with their attachment styles. 

As an anxious attached partner, you probably love the holidays - getting the perfect presents, planning get-togethers and meals, involving your partner in everything... While on the other hand, your avoidant partner wants to do anything (crawl on a hole) but be a part of what they see as too much. 

This episodes dives into why the avoidant attached partner wants to hide from the holidays, your friends and most of their own people. We share five things avoidant attached persons don't want during the holidays and what you can do to help them feel more relaxed - and get them involved. 

I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode.
