The Connected Life

192: Understanding Our Connections


Listen Later

Relationships have a way of bringing out the best and the worst of our humanity. Giving ourselves to others in these relationships can be scary. Behind some of the most difficult messes we make, with the people we care about the most, are wounds that have evolved out of the way that we learned how to attach as children. These wounds can create cycles of disconnection that loop repeatedly throughout our lives if they go unaddressed.

In this episode Justin sits down with his therapist Barry McGarrah. Barry is an Emotionally Focused Therapist that has given his life to understanding how the relational attachment styles we have affect the way we experience connection. Barry shares insights on formative wounds that perpetuate disconnection while bringing clarity to the ways we can have healthy attachments.

If you're wanting to have a better understanding of how you connect to the people you care about the most, this episode will be a beacon of hope that will shine a light on how you relate, while giving you a sense of relief knowing there's reasons for why you are the way you are.
