This week, Sam, Diana & Christie chat about the origin of attachment theory, different attachment styles, and how understanding your personal attachment style can be beneficial to the way you relate to others. Together they discuss how to learn from, embrace and work with your attachment style, and build intimacy instead of shame with others. They also talk about how attachment styles might impact patterns of thinking, behavior, and personalities, and what we can do when differing styles cause friction in relationships. Have you thought about what your attachment style might be?

Mentioned in the episode:

• Psychologists John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth’s work on attachment theory
• Attached by Amir Levine, M.D. and Rachel S. F. Heller, M.A.
