In this week's episode, we break down what attachment styles are and explain how this "science of love" can help you build, maintain or improve your relationships; whether romantic ones or friendships, family,...
If you have been feeling misunderstood in the way you handle your relationships or even repeating patterns- in your dating/married life or else- this episode is for you.
Attachment styles can be categorized as secure or insecure.
Secure people represent 50% of the population and are comfortable with intimacy while insecure people struggle with it, either associating it with a loss of independence or craving it to the point of worrying about it constantly.
There are 3 types of insecure attachment styles: anxious attachment, avoidant attachment and "anxious avoidant" attachment, which is a mix of the first two.
Learning about attachment styles was life changing for both of us as it brought awareness to how we were most likely to react in certain situations; it taught us what we need to feel safe or "secure" and how to communicate that.
We hope that this episode can have that same impact on you, maybe even help you realize what style you are, and hopefully teach you how to recognize it in others as well.
The book we recommended for everyone to read is called:
"Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How it can Help you Find Love and Keep Love" by Amir Levine & Rachel S.F. Heller.
