How To Understand Anxious And Avoidant Attachment And What Happens Between Them
With Stacey Bennington | Psychotherapist & CoachAnxious and avoidant attachment are two of the most common and most painful patterns in adult relationships. And they are almost magnetically drawn to each other, which means a lot of people find themselves in the same push and pull dynamic again and again without understanding why. In this course you will learn what anxious and avoidant attachment actually look and feel like from the inside, why these two styles are so powerfully attracted to each other, what happens when they collide in a relationship, and what it takes for either style to begin moving toward something more secure. Whether you identify as anxious, avoidant, or somewhere in between, this course will help you see your patterns more clearly and understand what is driving them.
Learn to recognize anxious and avoidant patterns in yourself and your relationships, and what it actually takes to move toward secure connection.

Stacey Bennington is a Registered Psychotherapist in Colorado and a Nationally Certified School Psychologist with an Ed.S. in School Psychology. She is also a Board-Certified Medical Support Hypnotherapist, a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, and a Certified Integrative Attachment Theory Coach, with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. She is certified in yoga nidra, a guided practice of deep rest and nervous system restoration. Stacey specializes in helping individuals understand how early attachment patterns and core wounds shape their relationships, communication, and emotional responses, and how to build more secure, connected ways of relating. Having walked her own path of healing a fearful avoidant attachment style, she brings both clinical depth and lived experience to her work. Her approach blends attachment theory, nervous system regulation, hypnotherapy, and subconscious reprogramming, meeting the mind in the deeply receptive states where lasting change takes root. Her meditations, sleep tracks, and mini courses are designed to help you feel seen in your patterns, understand where they began, and gently rewire those patterns at the root, so you can move through your relationships and your life with more security, calm, and confidence.
