Do you wonder why certain relationship patterns (i.e. anxious or avoidant) keep showing up in your life? Thais Gibson, an expert in attachment theory and co-founder of the Personal Development School, is talking with Amy about attachment theory—how it shapes our lives, relationships, and even the way we see ourselves.

Amy & Thais discuss:

- Attachment theory and how it relates to our relationships.

- How the 4 different attachment styles develop in childhood, and carry into adulthood.

- Signs someone might have an anxious or avoidant attachment style.

- How to identify our own attachment style (especially if we feel like we don’t fit neatly into one category)

- Where to start if you're looking to develop a secure attachment.

- How a secure person reacts to not being texted back.

- How attachment styles influence romantic relationships.

- Red flags in relationships that might indicate attachment wounds are at play.

- Attachment theory and the connection between self-love and self-worth.

- How our attachment styles affect our friendships, non-romantic relationships, parent/child relationships and professional relationships.

- How attachment styles impact our boundaries.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by the idea of changing your attachment style, Thais offers some encouragement!
