Building Healthy Relationships by Exploring Adult Attachment Patterns (Part 1) :: Charissa Lopez [Ep 498]


Listen Later


Do you ever wonder why you respond the way you do to your kids? Do you feel like there are things to process from childhood but don’t have the words to explain those feelings? 

Today Charissa Lopez, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Dallas joins me. She specializes in play therapy, EMDR, emotionally focused family therapy, and trauma-informed care. She is full of wisdom and the science to explain why we respond and parent in specific ways based on childhood patterns.  Join us as we talk about… 
  • Secure attachment in the early years (ages 0-3) and how meeting our little ones needs just 30% of the time allows them to feel secure and attuned. 
  • Loving parental behaviors – beyond the basic needs by showing our kids delight, affection, and supporting their inner and outer exploration. 
  • How to repair relationships and remain a safe place for our kids.
  • Dismissive attachment pattern explained. 
  • HOPE- a way to learn more helpful patterns and allow God to heal past hurts.
