Fearful-Avoidant Attachment Patterns

Nobody likes to be afraid, but sometimes the way we avoid being afraid can result in problems in our relationships.

Fearful-avoidant attachment patterns can cause significant challenges in forming and maintaining healthy relationships. This attachment pattern typically develops in childhood when caregivers are inconsistent or unpredictable in responding to a child's needs. As adults, individuals with fearful-avoidant attachment patterns may struggle with intimacy, avoid close relationships, or engage in relationships with a push-pull dynamic.

Some common characteristics of individuals with fearful-avoidant attachment patterns include difficulty trusting others, fear of rejection, difficulty expressing emotions, and a tendency to withdraw. These individuals may have learned that it is not safe to express their emotions and needs, leading to difficulty with vulnerability and communication in relationships.

If you recognize these patterns in yourself, it is essential to seek support and develop healthy coping mechanisms. Seeking therapy can help you understand and process your past experiences, build emotional resilience, and develop healthier attachment patterns. With time and effort, it is possible to form and maintain healthy relationships and break free from the cycle of fearful-avoidant attachment patterns.

General Service Area

For health and safety:

WE CANNOT GROOM AGGRESSIVE DOGS AS A MOBILE SERVICE. You must notify us at the time of making the appointment if your dog has ever bitten another person or pet. Your fur baby must be current on all rabies and required vaccinations and be physically healthy enough to receive grooming services. Due to space and time constraints, we are only taking appointments for dogs that weigh 75 lbs. or less. We may decline to shave down double coated dogs to a length that may harm the coat. Notice for doodle and similar coated dog owners: we do not de-mat excessively matted dogs; rather, we may shave below the mats and start over with a regular grooming schedule to reach your desired hair style. We reserve the right to decline or stop grooming service of any dog for any reason.
