Multiamory: Rethinking Modern Relationships

532 - Is Attachment Theory Just Bullsh*t?


Listen Later

We're returning to attachment theory this week as we go over some of the criticisms it has faced since rising in popularity. For some, attachment theory has been a powerful tool of self-discovery, but others dismiss it as pseudo pop psychology. Where do you fall on that spectrum of credibility?

Today we're discussing the cases for and against attachment theory and whether or not non-monogamy can help heal unhealthy attachments.
