You're listening to On Attachment, a place to learn about how attachment shapes the way we experience relationships

and where you'll gain the guidance, knowledge and practical tools to overcome insecurity and build healthy, thriving relationships.

I'm your host, relationship coach Stephanie Rigg,

and I'm really glad you're here. Hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of On Attachment.

In today's episode, I'm going to be sharing six tips for avoidant people in becoming more

secure in their relationships.

So this episode has been a long time coming. If you've been around here a while, you'd know that

my work focuses predominantly on the anxious attachment experience, and that is for the simple fact

that that's my own personal experience and I always find

that teaching from a place of personal lived experience tends to be more nuanced and authentic

and impactful than just teaching about something based on information. But with that being said,

I also acknowledge that there are a lot of avoidant-leaning people in my

audience, in my community of listeners here who are really hungry for support and for more

content around the avoidant side of the street.

And so I'm hoping that in today's podcast, I can give you at least a greater understanding of where your growth

edges might be, as well as a starting point of roadmap for how you can start to take those

steps towards greater security in your relationships.

Before we dive into that, a couple of quick announcements.

The first being to say welcome to all of the new listeners,

I think there's been a little uptick in the past week or so at the time of recording.

The podcast is sitting at number two on the charts in the US in the Relationships category

on Apple Podcasts, which is pretty wild. As you can imagine, the relationships category is a pretty competitive one
