  • Understanding Avoidant Attachment
    Oct 24 2025

    Welcome to Adaptable | Behavior Explained! In this episode, we explore Avoidant Attachment, what it looks like, how it develops, and the ways it can show up in our relationships today. Learn how emotional distance, self-reliance, and discomfort with vulnerability often trace back to early experiences, and discover practical ways to build deeper, more secure connections.

    I'm Kelly O'Horo, Attachment based EMDR Therapist, EMDRIA Consultant, and Advanced Trainer. I'm a mom of 5, Nonna of 5, wife, and a healer. I have the honor of spending my workdays walking along side people while they brave their healing journeys. I try to live with the generous assumption that we're all doing the best we can with what we know. Therapists are teachers for the "life stuff" and "emotional vocabulary" that may not have been learned due to gaps in our care givers capabilities. In the last 15 years I've learned that people are freaking amazing, resilient, and inspiring. Most importantly, we are hardwired for connection and for healing!

    I hope to bring an authentic, compassionate, and unpolished approach while we explore a variety of topics such as parenting, marriage, relationships, dating, trauma, attachment, adoption, depression, addiction, anxiety, and love! There's a why for all behaviors and an explanation that makes perfect sense as emotion is at the root of it all.
