Don’t sabotage your healthy relationship because of your attachment issues

When you enter into an intimate partnership as an adult, your childhood relationship challenges will surface—it’s inevitable at some point, usually after the honeymoon period. No one is immune because we each learned how to react and deal with issues from our caregivers for many years as we were growing up.

This way of dealing with things is our “attachment style,” and it’s what I call our “relational blueprint”—the way we approach adult relationships. In this video, I talk about the basics of attachment styles and how they affect our adult relationships. Knowing this can help you navigate intimate partnerships as well as other relationships in life.
