In this episode, Dr. Stephan Poulter, PhD, explains what attachment theory is, the four different styles, and how each is a template for how we create relationships today, including how we emotionally connect/disconnect and feel secure/insecure.
He describes the different styles: Distant, Depressed, Anxious, and Secure, as well as their impact on our intimate relationships. There are underlying reasons why one person becomes co-dependent, while another keeps their distance, and why one person gets enmeshed, and another ultimately leaves.
“Understanding breeds insight and healing. Blaming our parents or partners doesn’t,” he says.
