Description

Our individual attachment style influences how we react when we experience separation, threat, or pressure in a relationship. This can look like being perfectly fine to being clingy, impulsive, to overwhelmed or pushing others away. 

Opening a relationship or becoming polyamorous can activate our primary (or default/dominant) attachment style and patterns, especially if they are one of the 3 insecure styles.

In this episode we explore attachment theory in the context of consensual non-monogamous relationships and discuss:

• The four main attachment styles and their origins
• How our attachment influenced us first as children and then in our adult relationships.
• How these styles may manifest differently in multiple relationships.
• And recommendations on how to move towards learned secure attachment.
