In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of attachment styles and how they influence our relationships—especially when it comes to ghosting. Why do some people vanish without explanation, and why does it hurt so much for others? We’ll explore the psychological roots of ghosting, the role of secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment styles, and how understanding these patterns can help us navigate relationships more mindfully. Whether you’ve been ghosted, done the ghosting, or are just curious about the psychology behind it, this episode will offer insights, stories, and practical advice for healthier connections.
