🎙️ Attached AF: Why You Love the Way You Do
Episode Summary:
Ever wonder why you send that 2 am text… or shut down emotionally the minute things get real? In this episode of Unhinged Memoirs, we’re getting Attached AF, breaking down the four attachment styles, with a raw, hilarious deep dive into the three insecure ones (because let’s be honest, that’s where the spice is). Expect laughter, brutally honest confessions, and some real “a-ha” moments about how your past might still be dating for you.
🔹 Segment 1: The Banter Before the Breakdown
We kick things off with updates on our chaotic lives, a few unhinged banter questions (yes, someone did say their love life is like a fast food slogan), and then tease the emotional rollercoaster to come. Spoiler: there’s yelling, but it’s therapeutic.
🔹 Segment 2: WTF Is Attachment Theory?
We break down:
• What attachment theory is
• How it forms in childhood (yes, your dad issues are relevant)
• And how it shows up in everyday adult life: relationships, communication, ghosting, over-texting, and shutting down mid-argument.
🔹 Segment 3: Anxious, Avoidant, and Fearfully Feral
We put the spotlight on the three insecure attachment styles:
• Anxious Attachment: Why you cling, overthink, and spiral when they don’t text back.
• Dismissive Avoidant: Why you need space… like three years’ worth.
• Fearful Avoidant (a.k.a. the spicy combo): Why you want love but also push it away loudly.
Each host shares their own style, stories, and moments where their inner child took the wheel (and drove off a cliff).
🔹 Segment 4: From Messy to Secure AF
We talk tools.
Like:
• Autosuggestion and reparenting practices
• Attachment-style-specific healing tools that have worked in real life for each of us
• How we’re working on loving without fear, and connecting without chaos
🛠️ Listener Tools Mentioned:
• Daily affirmations tailored to your attachment style
• Self-regulation hacks for when you’re spiraling
• Journaling prompts and reparenting rituals
• Our brand new 7-day attachment healing tracker (available on our socials & website!)
