Mack Herman shares her own experience as an avoidant in a relationship: she still shuts down, needs space, and struggles with vulnerability, but the security she and her partner have built keeps the relationship moving forward.

Key points

• Being in a relationship has not eliminated her avoidant patterns - she still gets overwhelmed, shuts down, and needs space.
• The key shift is that healing has given her the ability to ask for space rather than just taking it.
• The past year has been her most significant period of growth, driven by the security she and her partner have built together.
