If you're in a relationship with someone who pulls away just when you need them most—or if you recognize that pattern in yourself—you know the painful cycle of reaching out only to feel shut down. This book is for anyone who has felt confused, lonely, or blamed for wanting more connection. Grounded in attachment science and real-world compassion, it helps you understand why avoidant partners distance themselves, how to stop chasing or shrinking, and what actually builds trust over time. You'll find clear explanations, practical scripts for hard conversations, and steady guidance for caring for yourself—whether you stay or leave. There's no quick fix, but there is a path toward deeper understanding and healthier relating. Part of The Relationship Repair Library.
