Anxiously Attached? Triggered by Your Partner? Create Healthy Love with Expert Trevor Hanson

Are you securely attached? Do you generally feel safe, at ease, and emotionally connected in your intimate relationships? If not, there's a good chance that you struggle with issues related to insecure attachment—often known as avoidant, disorganized, and anxious attachment styles. But take heart; if you’re wrestling with attachment issues, trust that it’s not your fault–your attachment style was on its way to being formed before you could even talk. Yet, if not addressed, attachment issues can manifest in many challenging ways throughout life. Perhaps you have a pattern of being plagued by chronic relationship anxiety, hyper-dependence, fear of abandonment, or irrational jealousy. Or, at the other end of the spectrum, maybe you’re consistently told you’re emotionally disconnected, dismissive, or hyper-independent. But no matter what you’re struggling with, I’m here to assure you that you can rewire your brain and create healthy relational patterns. 

Today's expert offers practical wisdom that can help you earn the secure attachment style—and healthy connection—you deserve. Join Dr. Carla Manly and expert Trevor Hanson for an empowering journey into what it takes to create healthy, safe relationships--starting with the relationship you have with yourself! Topics discussed include attachment style, attachment, secure attachment, insecure attachment, dismissive attachment, avoidant attachment, healthy relationships, communication, emotional abuse, abusive relationships, family of origin, family dynamics, avoidance, coping strategies, healing, inner child, boundaries, self-love, self-growth, inner-child healing, jealousy, conflict, triggers, ruptures, connection, and vulnerability.
