Why Do We Love the Way We Do? Attachment Styles (Part 1)

Off the Fence with Karen Covy: Mastering Decision Making, Divorce & More

Ever wonder why you chose the spouse that you did? Or why you and your spouse seem to be locked in the same dance – pushing each other’s buttons and arguing over the same things you’ve argued about 1000 times before?

In this podcast episode, Bev Mitelman, a certified attachment practitioner and founder of Securely Loved, discusses the profound impact our attachment style has on all of our future relationships.

Bev explains how our early relationships with our primary caregivers create lifelong patterns for how we give and receive love—and why understanding these patterns is key to building better connections. Relying on the work of Dr. Gabor Maté, Bev explores and explains our attachment styles, core wounds, and the pivotal choice each of us makes between maintaining an insecure attachment style that we may have picked up during our childhood and consciously growing into a secure attachment style that will help us create the healthy relationships we crave.

If you feel like it’s “Groundhog Day” in your intimate relationships, and you long to create a more secure and well-balanced bond, this podcast episode is for you.
