This episode dives deep into the complexities of attachment styles and their influence on romantic relationships. In talking about our own relationships, we delve into communication difficulties and struggles to connect.
When one partner feels unheard and unseen when trying to express their needs, it can lead to a cycle of blame and resentment. identifying their attachment styles as "avoidant" and "anxious," can help highlight how these early-formed patterns can significantly impact how individuals connect with others in adulthood.
The conversation delves deeper into the specific ways these attachment styles manifest in their arguments. Unresolved hurts from the past are revealed as a key factor hindering emotional intimacy. While acknowledging the challenges of navigating emotionally charged situations, we also share our use of "couples dialogue" in therapy. This technique emphasizes active listening and validating each other's feelings, fostering a deeper understanding and potentially creating a foundation for healing.
Through this exploration, we gain valuable insights into how attachment styles can influence communication, emotional connection, and overall relationship dynamics.

We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today.
