Talking points: attachment, relationships, intimacy

You’ve heard about attachment. Maybe you’ve discovered you or your partner (or both!) have a specific kind. Ok, cool. But what do you DO with that info? How do you move forward?

That’s exactly what Sarah Baldwin and I sat down to discuss. From the deep origins of our survival strategies, to their impact on intimacy, and how to work WITH it all and get some self-security going. Listen in.

(00:00:00) - What is a disconfirming experience?

(00:07:54) - How do our early experiences with attachment inform the partners we choose later?

(00:17:15) - Remember this is all subconscious, very human, and can be changed with work

(00:27:47) - What happens in someone’s body when they have a more anxious or avoidant attachment style

(00:35:38) - Insights on what to do if you’re avoidant or anxious

(00:43:33) - What CAN a securely attached relationship look like?

(00:50:57) - How does all of this impact intimacy?
