Today's conversation will help you understand the importance of attachment theory and how this influences the outcome in our relationships. Within this conversation you will learn what these attachment styles are and how each one uniquely influences how we react in a relationship. Then how can we learn a new way of attaching and moving into secure attachment.

My guest is Charisse Cooke is an attachment-based psychotherapist and author with over twenty years experience in relationship dynamics. She is also an online educator with a mission to mend the fabric of relationships through understanding and emotional resilience. Charisse's approach to therapy is deeply rooted in adult attachment theory, offering a compassionate lens through which to view and transform one's relational universe.

Charisse discusses attachment theory and its importance in understanding our attachment style. We explore the four main attachment styles and the patterns that show up in our relationships based on our attachment style, in which we learn how these patterns are influenced by our upbringing. Charisse emphasizes the need to take responsibility for our own patterning and rewrite a new narrative. She stresses the importance of self-love, self-trust, and self-respect in developing healthy boundaries and asserting ourselves.
