Deep dives

The Power of Anxious Attachment Style

The podcast delves into the concept of anxious attachment style and how it can sabotage relationships. With anxious attachment, individuals tend to see negative situations as triggers that lead to a cascade of negative thoughts and emotions. For example, if a partner goes to a party and doesn't contact them, the anxious attachment style may lead them to conclude that their partner is flirting with someone else and will eventually abandon or hurt them. This often results in anger and the use of weapons, such as silent treatment, passive aggression, or attacking the partner, which blinds both parties to the underlying emotions and prevents healing.
