There’s a hot topic in the dating and relationships arena that I rarely mention. I haven’t really had an episode dedicated to attachment styles. So I’ve brought on a therapist, love coach, and Irresistible Woman podcast host Madeline Charles to talk about attachment theory and how to overcome insecure attachment styles. In part one of this two-parter, we discuss the three main styles and she gives her perspective on how they develop and impact who you do or don’t date. Then in part two, I go on Madeline’s show to discuss how to use inner child work to help you overcome some of the unhealthy attachment types. So let’s dive in! 7:30 - Madeline quickly introduces herself 8:16 - Defining attachment style and theory 10:23 - Origin of your attachment style: nature or nurture? 11:59 - Anxious attachment style and how it might tie back to your childhood 14:31 - Signs of having the anxious attachment style as a dating adult 16:41 - Avoidant attachment style, how it can form during childhood, and what it looks like as an adult 21:40 - What it looks like when two people with anxious attachment date each other 23:27 - Trademarks of the secure attachment style 25:07 - How you can be a blend of two styles 26:53 - Moving beyond the label of your attachment style 32:07 - Highlighting an unstereotypical aspect of the anxious style as I wrap up the episode I hope you enjoyed this episode!
