Really Helped Me Understand Avoidance

The content gives such a clear picture of how avoidance works in relationships. It goes over what emotional detachment looks like and how people can unintentionally push others away. The daily activities were short but effective, and they got me thinking about connection in new ways.

An insightful guide to healing emotional distance

Emily Angell’s narration adds warmth and clarity, making this an ideal listen for anyone ready to move beyond avoidance and experience genuine emotional connection.

Strategies for Setting Healthy Boundaries

Avoidant Attachment Detox dives deep into the psychology of the avoidant dismissive attachment style. The audiobook helped me understand how emotional walls form. It’s not about fixing myself, it’s about learning how to connect while honoring my need for space and self-protection.

Loved the exercises!

This book felt like a mirror I didn’t know I needed. AVD ( Avoidant Attachment Detox ) isn’t just about psychology; it’s about patterns we carry silently and how they quietly shape our relationships. It does a great job of explaining avoidant behaviors without shaming you for them. What helped me most was the section on “deactivation triggers,” those moments when I emotionally shut down without realizing it. Naming those triggers gave me a sense of control I hadn’t had before.
A standout phrase was: “Intimacy isn't a threat it's a skill we can learn.” That line stayed with me.
The daily exercises are practical and not too overwhelming, which makes it easier to build a habit. If you're someone who pulls away when things get close, or you’ve been told you're "too distant" in relationships, this book might gently guide you toward understanding and change. It’s not an instant fix, but it’s a solid first step toward a secure connection.

Deep and Honest

If you tend to push people away but deep down want real connection, this book is for you. The daily exercises felt a little weird at first, but they started to make sense and honestly helped. What I liked most is that it didn’t pressure to change overnight. It felt gentle and real. So, if you’re tired of feeling distant but scared to open up, this is a good place to start.

Insightful and personal

This audiobook offers a deep and thoughtful look into avoidant attachment. What stood out to me was how much it covers, from the psychological roots to the real relationship patterns and emotional habits that show up day to day. I recognized myself in so many of the chapters, especially the parts on emotional numbing and retreating from connection. After a recent breakup, I realized how often I shut down or pulled away without understanding why. The sections on shadow work and vulnerability gave me a lot to think about, and the practical strategies helped me feel like change is actually possible. This isn't just information, it's guidance. Anyone who wants to understand themselves better or show up more fully in relationships will find value here.

Eye-Opening

is one of the most insightful resources I’ve come across on attachment and relationships. It doesn’t just explain what avoidant attachment is—it gives you daily, actionable exercises that help break free from dismissive patterns and gently guide you toward more secure, fulfilling connections.

Great audio to healing, better relationships

This is all about making meaningful changes using foundational work using the needs you require. It's not completely about relationships but how you choose to connect with others and all the emotions that life brings. I like how the author goes into what we feel, our thoughts, our emotions, what we fear... I'm not one to be afraid/or admit, but we sometimes may avoid challenges. I understand there's plenty of people who live life skimming the surface and don't desire to dive into anything. We may take on all this personal independence that we tell ourselves we don't need to be closer to those around us. These practices using positive steps for change allow us to have a new story for our future and we can engage with the life we have avoided.
People may get defensive as they are protective, but the advice detailed will help out partners, or even personal setbacks. Those underlining expectations, challenging moments, surprises, allows you to express yourself with words with directions of how to be heard and respected. Each partner can feel part of their own relationship giving both growth and a better mindset. You'll learn how to watch out for your, and your partners triggers, as its not about battling against each other but creating that bond you wanted to have. You will learn how to get a positive discovery of your new goals and be ready for your ambitions and shared purpose. I really liked the narrator, she was like listening to a wonderful counselor. I highly recommend this audio, pretty cool.

Helped me understand why I keep pulling away

This audiobook hit home in a way I wasn’t expecting. I’ve always struggled with getting close to people, and this broke down why that might be happening without making me feel broken or flawed. The daily exercises gave me small, doable steps to start shifting how I respond in relationships. I liked that it didn’t just point out problems—it offered ways to grow. The narrator had a calm, nonjudgmental voice that made it easy to stick with, even when the topics got a little uncomfortable. If you tend to shut down emotionally, this is 100% worth a listen.

Finally Facing My Walls

I’ve always struggled with getting close to people, and this audiobook helped me see what I was actually doing to push others away. The daily exercises weren’t overwhelming, which was a relief, and they made me think about my habits in ways I hadn’t before. It’s not a quick fix, but it feels like a solid guide to slowly building better connections without feeling totally lost.
