How Is My Attachment Style Impacting My Non-Monogamous Relationships?


Listen Later

Our individual attachment style influences how we react when we experience separation, threat, or pressure in a relationship. This can look like being perfectly fine to being clingy, impulsive, to overwhelmed or pushing others away. 

Opening a relationship or becoming polyamorous can activate our primary (or default/dominant) attachment style and patterns, especially if they are one of the 3 insecure styles.

In this episode we explore attachment theory in the context of consensual non-monogamous relationships and discuss:

  • The four main attachment styles and their origins
  • How our attachment influenced us first as children and then in our adult relationships.
  • How these styles may manifest differently in multiple relationships.
  • And recommendations on how to move towards learned secure attachment.
  • And speaking of that… this week we have a special free WORKSHEET to help you do just that! You can sign up to get it at https://go.taraandandre.com/gettheworksheet
