And when you’re setting your priorities in a healthy relationship, one of the first things you want to consider is what we’re discussing today: healthy attachment. What’s the big deal about attachment? Attachment theory came about in the 1950s and essentially theorizes that early experiences with our primary caregivers set the tone for how we attach in other major relationships throughout our lives. And depending on how that caregiver showed up, that’s how we learned how to interact with the world. But it’s important to note: you are not your attachment style, and it’s not set in stone. So you can absolutely go about healing your attachment style and cultivate healthy attachments in dating. Attachment style summary We cover three different attachment styles in this conversation, which include: Secure - Feels that most of the time, people show up and the world is a safe place. Anxious - Needs deep connection to avoid a sense of loss or abandonment. Avoidant - Becomes so independent and strong that they have no needs at all. You’ll Learn: How your attachment style affects the way you show up in relationships and dating Ways to accept and own your attachment style so you can show up as yourself and connect authentically with others Triggers for your attachment style and how to practice deep self-care How to honor your attachment style in the midst of healing from betrayal or addiction trauma ***In this episode you will get a basic idea of what attachment styles look like, and how you might identify with the different styles.
