We talk with therapist and author Marc Cameron about how childhood bonds shape adult love and how anyone can “earn” secure attachment through story, skills, and practice. Practical tools like boundaries that invite connection and the Comfort Circle help couples move from reactivity to responsiveness.

• what avoidant, pleaser, vacillator, and disorganized styles look like in childhood and adulthood
• how a coherent narrative links emotions to needs
• why empathy, validation, and clear language reduce conflict
• boundaries as doors back into connection
• style-specific growth goals and daily practice
• co‑soothing before self‑soothing and nervous system regulation
• the Comfort Circle listener-speaker tool
• research roots from Bowlby, Ainsworth, and Main
• resources from How We Love and Marc’s new book
