Let’s talk about how attachment styles can help us gain a better understanding of how we show up in our marriages and relationships.

New to this topic? Attachment styles are a common exploration technique in relationship therapy and counseling. Attachment theory is the joint work of John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth. Later on in the 1980s, psychologists Cindy Hazan and Phillip Shaver applied the work of Ainsworth and Bowlby to adult romantic relationships, and this created the understanding of the adult attachment styles we are familiar with now.

Their important work helps us in understanding why so many of us have a hard time navigating feelings of attachment in our intimate relationships.

Our attachment styles show up in many ways in our intimate relationships, but some of the easiest to spot are:

You’re afraid to speak up or have a difficult conversation because you’re scared to create distance between you and your partner, or you’re fearful of rejection, so you don’t say anything.

You have an ongoing fear of overwhelming the person you love, or “being too much” so instead you decide not to be a bother, and shrink down to an unrecognizable version of yourself.

You avoid sharing your feelings because you don’t know how or you don’t want to get too close, so most of your needs in your relationship go unmet as a result.

These are just a few examples of how our attachment styles can play out, but we could list thousands more. Because the reality is the way we attach is a major part of every single person’s life. Our ability to attach or not attach will ultimately affect how we bond and create relationships with one another, and especially with our partner or spouse.

So, this week inside the Love Shack, we are going to break down all you need to know about attachment styles, and even provide you with a simple quiz so that you too can know how your attachment style is playing out in your love life right now. Join Us! It's sure to create some relatable aha moments!

Author Kori Hahn has always done life her way — living off the grid as a young woman in Alaska; studying with spiritual teachers and soul guides in Mexico, Sri Lanka, and Morocco; surfing around the world. Whether she was seeking adventure, sunshine, or the perfect wave, her primary, perennial quest has consistently been an inner one.

In her new book, Rituals of the Soul: Using the 8 Ancient Principles of Yoga to

Create a Modern & Meaningful Life, Kori shows readers how the 8 principles of yoga can help them connect with and start living from their intuition.

“Our intuition is a soft-spoken, subtle voice whispering from the deepest, most subconscious place within,” writes Kori. “In this book, I will share with you a system for hearing these whispers, through the ancient personal development path of yoga . . . Hearing these whispers is the key to using your

human life for the purpose your soul is asking of you.”

In Rituals of the Soul, venerable principles concerning awareness, intuition, self-knowledge, and manifestation become contemporary practices incorporating visualization, breath work, journaling, affirmations, and meditation. Kori’s approach helps readers personalize these tools, rather than

prescribing a one-size-fits-all path, so they become beloved rituals rather than onerous to-dos. In time, these regular habits grow the soul, and, as Kori shows, can take any reader wherever they most want to be.

“In this book, you will learn to move within, to find clarity on what your soul wants from you, and to put simple daily rituals in place to help make these dreams a reality,” writes Kori. “When you create the rituals for each step and diligently practice them, your life will become more soulful and exciting! Your

life will become the creation of your dreams.”

Kori Hahn is the author of Rituals of the Soul and founder of a community gathering place called the Santosha Society, which is dedicated to travel, surfing, and the soulful. She hosts numerous trips around the world for hundreds of women who study Ayurveda, yoga, meditation, and all things related to soul growth, knowledge, and fulfillment. When she isn’t traveling, she divides her time between Sri Lanka and Southern California.
