Ep.14 Attached by Love: Examining Attachment Styles (feat. Sierra Fernandez)
Description
In this episode, Sierra and I explore attachment theory! Discovering attachment styles can help you better understand how you relate to others and how to improve it. Sierra gives us a Psyc 101 lesson on each of the 4 attachment styles (secure, avoidant, anxious and fearful/ambivalent attachments) and talk about what forming a secure successful attachment could look like.
Finding out what your attachment style may be can be as easy as asking yourself 2 questions.
(1) Do I have a positive or negative view of myself?
(2) Do I have a positive or negative view of other people?
- more deeply the question is asking who you can trust, who you depend on the most to produce positive outcomes or sooth you. During the interview I mentioned a visual I was using to track my conversation which can be found here - a model developed psychologists Kim Bartholomew & Leonard Horowitz!
I also bought up a curiosity about co-dependent relationships and their correlation with anxious attachment styles here is an article to learn more Co-Dependency and Attachment Style by Evolve Therapy.
