111. What the Hell Is Attachment Theory? Sneak Peek from Dance of Attachment
About this episode
What the hell is attachment theory anyway… and why does it explain so much about the way we love?
In this special episode of Speak Honest, I’m giving you a sneak peek inside my bestselling book Dance of Attachment. Because I’m heading into the studio to record the audiobook, I wanted to share a piece of the book with you and walk you through the foundation of attachment theory. We explore how the emotional blueprint you developed in childhood can shape the way you connect in adult relationships, and why patterns like chasing, overthinking, or pulling away often make perfect sense once you understand your nervous system.
You might want to listen if:
- You keep ending up in confusing relationship dynamics and can’t figure out why
- You feel anxious or overthink everything when someone pulls away
- You’ve heard of attachment styles but don’t fully understand what they mean
- You want to understand the patterns behind your relationships
- You’re ready to start learning a new way of showing up in love
