In this episode, we talk about attachment theory. Attachment theory talks about how we attach in romantic relationships with a partner and how it relates to the love and care we receive as a baby or child.
Our guest is Rita Bliven. Rita has a lot of experience in the field of attachment theory and opens up about her own personal story on attachment which starts with a child kidnapping. She also coaches Dennis and Soroosh on their past love relationships and how attachment styles played a role there. You don't want to miss this one!
Rita has written a book about her life story which has led her to become an expert in the field of attachment theory and attachment styles. Check out her upcoming book here.
There are 4 different types of attachment styles:
- Anxious attachment
- Avoidant attachment
- Disorganised attachment
- Secure attachment
Learn how you can start to recognise different attachment styles in yourself and your partner and discover what this can mean for your relationship and how you can cope better with attachment?
