A narcissistic smear campaign can flip your world upside down—especially when it affects your work, friendships, family life, or support systems. In this blog, we’ll look at how these campaigns unfold, how to stay grounded in your truth, and when to consider legal action like defamation lawsuits or restraining orders. Rebuilding your reputation starts with knowing you're not alone—and you don’t have to stay silent.

Dismissive avoidant attachment is often misunderstood—it’s not all emotional unavailability and distance. People with this style are often incredibly independent, focused, and calm under pressure. They tend to handle change well, enjoy time alone, and self-regulate in creative (if imperfect) ways. These strengths can be powerful assets when paired with self-awareness and therapy. Let’s reframe the narrative and appreciate what dismissive avoidants bring to the table.

Attachment theory and attachment style therapy helps us understand why we repeat the same relational patterns, feel triggered by certain things, or struggle inside of our relationships. These aren’t just unique quirks—these behaviors are rooted in early attachment wounding. By exploring your attachment style and core beliefs, therapy can be helpful in reconnecting you with your values and a life you want.
