Why do you connect with others the way you do—and can it change? In this episode of GraceStory Podcast, we explore how attachment styles shape the way we love, trust, and relate to others. Whether you lean anxious, avoidant, disorganized, or secure, these patterns often form early in life—and impact everything from marriage to parenting to faith. Our guest, Peter Leighton LPCC, trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), breaks down the science of attachment and offers hope for healing. You’ll learn how trauma affects emotional bonds, what EFT looks like in practice, and how a faith-based approach can help restore secure, connected relationships. If you’ve ever asked, “Why do I keep doing this in relationships?”—this episode is for you.
