Dr. Dori - Psychologist and relationship coach

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Dory Gatter, a psychotherapist and relationship coach with over 30 years of experience, for a deep and grounded conversation about attachment styles, emotional safety, intimacy, and healing relational wounds.We explore why so many people unknowingly repeat the same relationship patterns, why independence can be a trauma response, and how true interdependence creates secure, lasting connection.Dr. Dory breaks down how attachment wounds form in childhood, how they shape attraction and conflict in adulthood, and why healing requires real connection — not just self-love in isolation.Topics include:Attachment styles and unconscious attractionInterdependence vs codependence and hyper-independenceWhy needs are not a weaknessWhy relationships only meet about 50% of our needsHealing attachment wounds through safe relationshipsSomatic and trauma-informed therapy approachesInner child work, EMDR, and IFSCreating safety through consistency and collaborationHow to handle conflict without blameMirroring as a nervous-system regulation toolWhen it’s time to stay and grow — or leavePolyamory, intimacy, and self-responsibilityCasual sex vs dissociationWhy people cheat and how trust is rebuiltThe real timeline for infidelity recoveryWhy we attract familiar but unhealthy partnersMen’s loneliness, over-giving, and resentmentMasculine responsibility without self-abandonmentThis episode is for anyone serious about emotional maturity, secure attachment, and conscious relationships — especially those who have done some inner work but still feel stuck repeating the same patterns.How to find Dr. Dori:  https://drdorygatter.com For a video only, typology based dating app go to www.amoraea.com and find your life partner today!
