This episode dives deep into the complexities of attachment styles and their influence on romantic relationships. In talking about our own relationships, we delve into communication difficulties and struggles to connect.
When one partner feels unheard and unseen when trying to express their needs, it can lead to a cycle of blame and resentment. identifying their attachment styles as "avoidant" and "anxious," can help highlight how these early-formed patterns can significantly impact how individuals connect with others in adulthood.
The conversation delves deeper into the specific ways these attachment styles manifest in their arguments. Unresolved hurts from the past are revealed as a key factor hindering emotional intimacy. While acknowledging the challenges of navigating emotionally charged situations, we also share our use of "couples dialogue" in therapy.
