About this listen
This short, to-the-point book will help you leave your avoidant partner, get over them, or learn to love them better without hurting yourself.
My name is Mosab Alkhteb, and I'm the author of one of the best books on dealing with toxic people.
After writing a few viral articles on Medium about my own experience with an avoidant partner, I wrote this practical ebook about avoidants (based on my 7-year relationship with an avoidant--whom I dearly love-- and my thorough research of the topic).
The book will help you:
- Understand your avoidant's confusing actions.
- Stop hurting when they push you away.
- Improve the relationship.
- Learn how to get over them.
- Or learn how to love them better.
- And much more.
The Pain!
The pain of being discarded and replaced by someone else.
The pain of being pushed away again after being let in.
The pain of being restless, thinking about them, and trying to make them open up and talk to you.
The pain of never knowing what's on their mind and feeling powerless in the relationship.
I know how it feels. And I wrote this book to help you heal, get rid of this pain, and take control over your mental well-being.
What You'll Learn:
✅ The psychology behind avoidant attachment and why your partner acts the way they do.
✅ Proven strategies to connect with avoidant partners without losing yourself.
✅ Red flags to watch for and when it's time to walk away.
✅ Tools to heal your heart and find emotional security—no matter the outcome.
This Book is for You If:
- You're in a relationship with someone who struggles to open up or commit.
- You've felt emotionally neglected and wonder if it's your fault.
- You want to improve communication and create a healthier, more secure bond.
- You're considering leaving but need clarity and closure.
I know what it feels like to be with an avoidant. All the uncertainty, rejection, jealousy, pain, defensiveness, being shut down, and the emotional rollercoaster.
But don't take my word for it. Read what tens of readers say about my work and how it impacted their relationship.

Overthinking is when your brain just won’t switch off. It feels like it’s stuck going around and around on the same loop as a hamster stuck on a wheel. But while the hamster is having fun and getting fit, you’re feeling lower and lower and burning out.

Story
You picked up this book because your breakup has been reduced to something that you feel you must “win” to emotionally survive and move on. This reduction can only take place if you were involved with a toxic person. Toxic people are selfish, empathetically bankrupt, and have a limited relationship with reality. Anyone who feels validated by exploiting your hunger for theirs is toxic - to your peace, your life, and your mental health.

People in relationships with avoidants struggle with their lack of responsiveness and inability to tolerate real intimacy. Relationships between an avoidant and a partner of another attachment type are the largest group of unhappy relationships, and people who love their partners and who may have started families and had children with an avoidant will work very hard to try to make their relationships work better, out of love for their partner and children as well as their own happiness.

Story
Relationships have always been essential to human survival. Our bodies and brains are programmed to seek out connection, whether familial, romantic, or platonic. And yet, these vital bonds are often at the root of our deepest suffering. While our hearts are primed for compassionate connection, our nervous systems—which store all our past hurts and disappointments—are wired for threat and negativity.
