Wings In Captivity - Fearful Avoidant
Wings In Captivity - Fearful Avoidant
Wings in Captivity explores the inner world of one of the most complex attachment styles: fearful avoidance. Through poetry, short essays, and reflections, it captures the painful contradiction of craving love while feeling the urge to escape it, offering another perspective on one of the most demonized attachment styles.
Chapter by chapter, the book moves through the phases of fearful avoidant attachment, from its origins to its highs and lows, offering relatability and comfort.
Wings in Captivity is the continuation of The Cruel Art of Yearning, which is about being deeply anxiously attached and gradually, subtly becoming fearful avoidant at the very end of the book. This second book continues that transition, focusing on the experience of becoming a fearful avoidant.
Not for dismissive avoidants
Wings in Captivity focuses on fearful-avoidant attachment, not dismissive. Most chapters center on the experience of wanting closeness while being afraid of it. Dismissive avoidants have a different experience, so this book may not resonate with that attachment style. We value transparency to ensure your time and money aren't wasted.

Which book is for me?
If you have anxious attachment, The Cruel Art of Yearning is for you. It focuses on what anxious attachment feels like, and at the end offers reflections on self-love and accountability. It touches on avoidant attachment too, but only briefly near the end.
Wings in Captivity focuses only on fearful avoidant attachment, though it can also gravitate toward disorganized attachment. It is not for dismissive avoidants.
