Julie Menanno, a top Marriage and Family Therapist and author of "Secure Love," discusses attachment theory and its impact on relationships. She explains that secure attachment is characterized by low fear and easy connection, while anxious attachment involves high fears of abandonment and aggressive attempts to reconnect. Avoidant attachment involves shutting down emotions to avoid failure. Disorganized attachment, often stemming from traumatic childhoods, is unpredictable and intense. Julie emphasizes the importance of understanding and addressing these attachment styles to foster secure relationships. She also highlights the role of body intelligence in identifying and managing emotions.
