In this powerful and eye-opening Part 2 episode, Andrea sits down with attachment specialist and relationship coach Adam Lane Smith to explore the deep-rooted patterns that shape the way we love. Together, they unpack the complexities of attachment theory—diving into anxious, avoidant, and disorganized styles—and how these patterns can quietly sabotage or strengthen our relationships.
Adam shares his personal journey with attachment theory and challenges the traditional idea of "healing" attachment styles, instead offering a path toward repairing behaviors and building trust. From infidelity to coercive soothing and parentification, this episode goes far beyond surface-level dating advice, touching on the emotional undercurrents that define modern love.
They also discuss the impact of online dating, the revival of personal matchmaking, and how masculine and feminine energies play into relational dynamics. Whether you're navigating new love, recovering from heartbreak, or simply trying to understand yourself better, this episode delivers insightful, actionable strategies to help you foster secure attachment and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
How can you tell if your attachment style is sabotaging your relationships—and what can you do about it?
Is it possible to change your attachment style, or are you stuck with it for life?
What does "coercive soothing" really mean, and how might it be quietly ruining your emotional connection with others?
And so much more...
