What Is Attachment & Why Does It Matter in Relationships?
​
Attachment is the most potent force in the human brain—the glue that keeps you connected to the essential people in your life. Yet, attachment can also be described simply as a set of learned behaviors the brain developed to feel safe and connected to your primary caregivers in childhood. How your parents treated each other and how they treated you provided specific messages that became embedded into your subconscious beliefs about yourself and others. This also created a predictable blueprint for how you behave in your high-stakes adult relationships. These learned behaviors are not fixed and can be changed. Attachment styles are on a spectrum (secure >>> insecure), and we best understand them as describing (a) what causes you stress in a relationship and (b) your response to this stress. Contemporary attachment theory focuses on four main attachment styles: secure, anxious preoccupied, dismissive avoidant, and fearful avoidant.
​
During your first coaching session, you will participate in a brief assessment to help determine your attachment style (and that of your partner, if applicable). You will also receive clear steps and strategies for moving forward in your relationship and fostering a more secure attachment.
