Dating in Your 20s Series: Attachment Styles with Hilary Rosenberg
Welcome to the Millennium Counseling Center podcast, where Amelia Abernathy and Lilly Wehman explore dating in your 20s. Joined by counselor Hilary Rosenberg, they delve into attachment styles—anxious, avoidant, fearful-avoidant, and secure—and their influence on modern relationships. Hilary explains how these “blueprints” form in childhood, driving adult dating behaviors, and why social media’s quick insights can’t replace therapy’s depth. From the anxious-avoidant attraction to online dating’s emotional triggers, they discuss overcoming blind spots and embracing authenticity. With Hilary’s “full-body yes” metaphor, this episode offers practical wisdom for building secure connections.
