Avoidant Attachment Style

Hi, everyone. I have an avoidant attachment style with one of my parents because of some things that happened between us when I was a child. I don't really feel resentful about it though now (until stuff comes up when we have an argument or something), and I want to grow closer to my parent. How do I overcome this avoidant attachment style and how do I learn to get over the fear I still feel when I am around my parent? It's like a conditioned response that's hard to control.

I think u need to get to the bottom of what happened between your parent and yourself when you were young.... that should help build a trusting relationship again. My love to you. Therapy will help. Talk to a good therapist. Thx and good luck!
