EP214: Avoidant Attachment Explained: The Truth About Avoidant Attachment & Why You Struggle In Relationships

Avoidant attachment is one of the most misunderstood relationship patterns, especially in men. In this episode, we uncover the truth about avoidant attachment, why avoidant men struggle with intimacy, and how childhood wounds create emotional distance. It’s not just a fear of commitment—it’s a nervous system response, a survival strategy, and a learned pattern of self-protection. If you push love away, shut down in relationships, or struggle to express emotions, this episode will help you understand why—and what you can do about it.

Relationship expert Travis Ambrose shares his personal journey and expert insights on healing, emotional safety, and navigating intimacy as an avoidant. If you’ve ever felt distant, overwhelmed, or misunderstood in love, this episode is for you.

I’m Travis—a relationship coach specializing in helping people with avoidant attachment create secure, fulfilling relationships by starting with the relationship they have with themselves. Whether I’m working with an individual or a couple, my work focuses on using breath for nervous system regulation, reprogramming the subconscious patterns that drive disconnection, using language to build bridges of empathetic understanding and building a big, bold and courageous life. Through my coaching, courses, and content, my goal is to create a safe and compassionate space to guide avoidants toward healing, self-trust, and emotional connection—so they can finally build the relationships they want deep down.
