As infants, all of us look to form a connection with our primary caregivers (usually our mothers). The quality of that attachment then forms the foundation for all other relationships. Many times, issues in sustaining adult relationships can be understood through the lens of a person's own attachment style. Attachment style theory was first proposed in 1958 by British psychologist John Bowlby and includes four main categories. Sarah and Rishi dissect these four attachment styles in today's episode and even open up about their own. Their discussion covers how attachment styles may be an evolutionary development to ensure survival, how secure attachment style is the 'gold-standard,' and how non-securely attached individuals CAN become more secure over time through awareness and persistence. This especially illuminating episode of Conscious Quest addresses a topic that is often overlooked and undervalued, but has the potential to deeply inform a person's unconscious patterns.
