EPISODE NINE is all about dismissive attachment. In this episode, I talk about what it means to have dismissive attachment, how dismissive attachment is developed in childhood, and what you should do, say, and avoid if you or your partner has an dismissive attachment style or dismissive tendencies.

Lucky for you, I'm not just offering a podcast to help you understand attachment. I've also created a 58-page digital workbook that you can purchase on my website: www.RelationshipsLoveHappiness.com. This digital workbook not only complements the podcast, but it also includes extra attachment tips and information not covered in the podcast and includes self reflection prompts through out that will encourage you to dig deep and reflect on your own past and current life experiences. Before you start listening to Season One of Love Matters, get yourself a copy of the Attachment Matters digital workbook. You won’t regret it.
