"I have written Canyons & Fireworks which details my lifelong journey of healing from an extreme avoidant attachment style. Through encounters with God, faith, family, Christian community, reading books, and years of counseling I have learned to truly open up and enjoy loving relationships. From this place of healing and love I have been able to enjoy the abundant life of the Bible. In Canyons & Fireworks, I am honest about the cause, confusion, victories, setbacks, and time full recovery takes. Although I am not a doctor, my goal is to help others identify and tear down the walls that block love so that true intimacy, identity, and purpose can flourish. I am happily married to my best friend, Rob, and I love being a stepmom. We live in a suburb of Charlotte, NC where we enjoy the outdoors together. I like to bike ride at my local parks and paint on my back patio." _ Canyons & Fireworks – From Avoidant to Abundant (canyonsandfireworks.com). "You may benefit from discovering your attachment style if: Love seems to evade you. Your relationships are not fruitful. Intimacy makes you uncomfortable. You often feel suffocated in relationships. You are not one to miss people. You are successful but something is still missing. It’s hard for you to feel love. You have been described as mysterious. You do not experience the same emotions as others. Even in good company you feel lonely. Being alone scares you. You have been described as needy. You feel desperate to hear from your significant other. You miss people quickly. You excessively worry about your relationships. You need to keep loved ones close at all times. Focus is difficult if you think someone is mad at you. When the “high” of a new relationship wears off, you think the relationship is over. You mainly live in autopilot. You cling to people. You are afraid of abandonment." -Rita Bliven. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support
