Episode notes

Attachment theory and how to avoid the mistakes everyone makes when they learn about it.

It’s probably your attachment style. Think of it as the relational software installed in your brain during your first 18 months. This episode is a crash course in understanding your programming and avoiding common mistakes.

We break down the four main styles: Secure, Anxious, Avoidant, and Disorganized. We explore the classic Anxious-Avoidant trap, where one person chases and the other retreats, creating a cycle of frustration. More importantly, we debunk the myth that these styles are a life sentence.

You'll get a practical, no-fluff guide to understanding your patterns and, crucially, how to start changing them for the better.

Spot the Red Flags: Learn to recognize an avoidant partner’s mixed messages so you can bypass the drama.
Get Your Crazy Out: Why being direct about your needs (especially if you're anxious) is the best dating strategy.
Ditch the Ghost: For avoidants, learn why idolizing a fantasy ex is sabotaging your chance at real happiness.

Listen now to finally make your love life make sense.
