How secure is your emotional connection with your partner?

In this episode of the Coaching Your Family Relationships Podcast, with guest Thomas Westenholz, we explore how attachment styles impact the way we relate to our partners—and how those patterns ripple into the rest of our family system.

You’ll learn:

• What attachment theory reveals about the ways we connect, argue, withdraw, or pursue in our closest relationships
• How to recognize your own attachment style—and why that awareness is the key to building emotional safety
• How a distant or conflict-filled partner relationship can lead to tension, emotional distance, or even estrangement from adult children
• The basics of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and how it helps couples repair and rebuild trust
• Why healing the parent-partner bond is foundational for improving communication and connection across the entire family

Whether you’re feeling emotionally shut down, constantly on edge, or just wondering why your relationship feels “off,” this episode will give you language, insight, and real strategies to begin shifting the dynamics—without blame or shame.
