EP 181: Become Securely Attached with Attunement

Dear Santa, bring me a securely attached partner, please!    The truth is we all desire a partner who is securely attached (and to show up as a securely attached partner).    Secure attachment requires self-awareness, healing, and rewiring your brain.    In today’s episode I talk about the relational tool: “Attunement”.   Inside of this episode: I provide you with multiple definitions of attunement. We analyze the difference between emotionally dismissive and emotionally tuned in parents. We discuss how to apply attunement to your romantic relationship.    This is one of those episodes that brought up all kinds of emotions for me. Listening may bring up tears, laughter, or anger.    Be prepared to get vulnerable and learn a ton!    If you’re too old to believe in Santa, and know you need to do the work to get off the dating rollercoaster, I’d like to personally invite you to apply to the E.S.L. program.   CLICK HERE to apply today!   BONUS: By enrolling during the month of November, you’ll get an extra 30 days in the program for free!
