Being UnNormal

In this episode we are joined by therapist Kaleigh Boysen who breaks down what attachment theory really is, and why it matters to us even as adults. From our parenting style, to our romantic relationships, find out where your trust issues started and why it shapes all your interpersonal relationships. We explore what reactive attachment disorder is (RAD), and the close association between trauma and attachment.

Attachment theory is a concept in developmental psychology that concerns the importance of "attachment" in regards to personal development. Specifically, it makes the claim that the ability for an individual to form an emotional and physical "attachment" to another person gives a sense of stability and security necessary to take risks, branch out, and grow and develop as a personality. Naturally, attachment theory is a broad idea with many expressions, and the best understanding of it can be had by looking at several of those expressions in turn.

Often times parents will look at the behaviors as the problem, but often the behavior is the communication that our children use to tell us they are missing skills.
