Why do we love the way we do? Why do some of us crave closeness while others pull away? In this special episode, we invite you into a real, unfiltered therapy session exploring the origins of attachment and how our earliest relationships shape the way we connect as adults. What started as a casual conversation between Stefanny and me quickly turned into a deep dive into love, loss, and the patterns we carry into our relationships—so I hit record. This session is raw, personal, and vulnerable, but our hope is that by unpacking our own experiences, you’ll gain insight into your own. Whether you struggle with intimacy, find yourself repeating the same relationship cycles, or just want to understand attachment on a deeper level, this episode is for you.
