This episode explores the different styles of attachment and how we can be mindful of the ways that we influence how our children relate to us as they grow and develop. We talk about the four major types of attachment which are anxious, avoidant, disorganized, secure. Join us as we explore an overview of each.

Also, we touch on attachment repair, or the ways that we can learn to be conscious of our own attachment styles as parents and repair any issues as needed when it comes to our own tendencies in relating to others. This is also useful to be aware of in the context of other relationships as well, including romantic relationships and friendships.
