S5 Episode 13: Trauma and Attachment with Dr. Diane Poole Heller, PhD

Dr. Diane Poole Heller is a world-renowned expert in attachment theory, trauma healing, and relational transformation. Over the past four decades, she has been at the forefront of understanding how early attachment experiences shape the way we love, connect, and navigate relationships and, more importantly; how we can heal and rewire these patterns at any stage of life. As an internationally recognized speaker, author, and clinical trainer, Dr. Heller has worked with thousands of therapists and millions of individuals to bridge the gap between trauma, attachment, and the path to secure, fulfilling relationships. She is the creator of Dynamic Attachment Re-Patterning Experience (DARe), an innovative therapeutic model that has transformed the way we approach healing from insecure attachment. Her book, The Power of Attachment, delves into the unseen forces that drive our relationships, revealing why we connect the way we do, why love sometimes feels so out of reach, and most importantly, how we can move toward lasting emotional security. Through her work, Dr. Heller has helped people untangle the unconscious patterns that keep them stuck in cycles of fear, avoidance, and self-protection; empowering them to move toward deeper intimacy, trust, and connection. She has spent decades proving that attachment wounds don’t have to define us, and that healing is always within reach. Whether through her books, her clinical work, or her teachings, Dr. Heller is giving people the tools to break free from the past and build relationships that feel safe, secure, and fulfilling.

Life can be hard at times and if you’re like me, you may tend to think that you can handle it all on your own. Maybe you’ve done such a good job of “managing for so long” having to do something different or talk to someone can feel uncomfortable. The idea of therapy, to me, felt like I had to admit that there was something wrong with me or that I’d be showing the world that I was broken or didn't have it all together… but when my health started to suffer, and I was anxious 24/7… I realized my body was trying to tell me something was wrong and I learned that there is no “good health” without mental health. Therapy was the answer for me, it helped me put down all of the heavy things that I was carrying that didn’t belong to me.
