In Episode 3, we explored the nature of human relationship, and focused on how “emotional” relationships work. We noted that the developmental-psychology framework provided by “attachment theory” gives us valuable clues about how we’ve learned to relate to others.
In this episode, we dig further, to unearth the four “styles” of childhood attachment, and the corresponding four styles of adult attachment. Understanding our attachment style and history is an important part of our attaining the self-knowledge that we discussed in Episode 2. That also provides a foundation for the deeper dive that we’ll be taking into learning how to “connect deeply” with the important people in our lives.
