Attaching to God: Neuroscience-informed Spiritual Formation

057 Exploring the 3 Core Attachment Questions Shaping Our Lives

May 24, 2023

Whether we are aware of it or not, we are constantly living from the answers of three core attachment questions.

Join us for a conversation on the three default attachment questions deeply embedded in our nervous systems and implicit memories: 1) are other people available to me; 2) will this distress be alleviated; and 3) can I use my agency for good?

ATTACHING TO GOD Learning Cohort: Launching again in mid-June. Join us and learn to grow beyond anxious and avoidant spiritualities.

DESCRIPTION: 
We explore how our answers to these questions inform our behavior and how a process of rupture and repair helps us gain insight.

We also discuss the significance of secure attachment during our formative years, and how our caregivers' sensitivity and attunement can lay the foundation for our sense of agency and security. However, an inconsistent care environment may lead to insecurity and impact our expectations from the world. Discover how our answers to these questions affect our ability to use our agency in moments of distress and our role in the Embodied Faith journey. Don't miss this enlightening discussion on the power of attachment and its profound influence on our lives.
