Maybe you’ve heard the term but don’t really know what Attachment Theory is. Well, this episode is your introductory masterclass into all things attachment.

Joining me on the podcast today is Adam Lane Smith, licensed marriage and family therapist and relationship coach, to dive into everything attachment: we discuss the different attachment styles, how they are shaped, how they impact conflict, what healing looks like through an attachment lens, and how our styles impact our attachment to God.

Thanks for joining us in this geeked-out conversation about attachment theory and practice.
