EP. 31: Why Love Matters: How Your Earliest Attachments Shape Your Adult Relationships

from Life and Love by Design · host Odette Coronel

As a life and relationship coach, attachment styles are so fascinating to me. They’re this window into who we are and why we do the things we do. They provide context to all our behaviors and chronic patterns we have in our relationships. And the best thing about them is that you’re not confined to one attachment style for the rest of your life!For many of my clients, that's the goal. They don’t want to be too anxious, or too avoidant, or completely disorganized. They want to have healthier relationships. So I study their current attachment styles and guide them towards a more secure attachment style. And I do that by staying up to date on my reading. In this week’s episode, we’re talking about why love matters. Your earliest attachment styles shape your adult relationships. Which means that you could be acting out how your parents raised you in your current relationships and not even know it! Tune in to hear about attachment styles through the lens of my favorite book and how I use these styles to design a better relationship for my clients. Resources Mentioned:Why Love Matters: How affection shapes a baby's brain by Sue GerhardtHow to work with Odette:Book a free consultation call for the Next Level Woman: Life & Love by Design Experience here!Check out more information on the Next Level Woman: Life & Love by Design Experience, Odette’s six-month coaching program, here!Book a consultation call for Odettes’s Life Coaching Services here! Book a consultation call for Odettes’s Couples Coaching Services here! Sign up for a Complimentary RELATIONSHIP & LIFE ALIGNMENT AUDITBuy the Re-ignite Your Spark Journal here! Follow Odette on:Instagram @‌odettecoronelcoachingTikTok @‌odetterelationshipcoach   LinkedIn: Odette CoronelWebsite:www.odettecoronel.comPodcast production for this episode was provided by CCST, an Afro-Latina-owned boutique podcast production and copywriting studio.
