I’ve recently been seeing many people commenting on Dismissive Avoidants (DAs) not caring about emotions, and being completely indifferent to processing anything with their partners. I just wanted to provide my own view of this, in the hopes that this might provide another dimension of understanding here.
Superpowers emerge when we go into the places where the insecurities of our attachment systems (the most sensitive parts) have over-compensated to survive, and we begin healing these parts of ourselves. We uncover the power in the deep sensitivity of these areas, and then allow the richness of wisdom here to flow through our lives.
So, while the Anxious attacher's superpower is in the realm of empathy and the Avoidant attacher's is about intellectual understanding, the Disorganized attacher's superpowers are all about somatic/primal awareness.
We’ll cover all three here.
