Today is the second to last episode of this iteration of the Emotional Physics podcast before we go on a hiatus to welcome Tink's baby!  Omgeeeee!

Speaking of parenting and families, we answer a poignant listener question about how and if it is possible to go on to have securely attached adult relationships when our parents did not themselves have a healthy relationship.  How can we go forth not feeling doomed by our parents' mistakes?  Well, listeners, it turns out that secure attachment is a lot more than what we were shown by our parents.  We take into account how not only our parents but other important adults related directly to us regardless of how they treated each other, the impact of other healthy adults (Tink gets a little fixated on aunt and uncles for a minute there) on the types of love and attachment we grow up to expect and gravitate toward, as well as the power of adult relationships including and especially friendships to help move the needle of our attachment styles in the direction of health, regardless of what happened in our childhoods.
