In this episode of 'Love Liaisons', Kathryn and Marina dive into the complexities of attachment styles in adult romantic relationships, with insights from licensed therapist Lana. They discuss how early life experiences shape our intimacy and how different attachment styles—secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized—manifest in relationships. The conversation touches on recognizing patterns, the impact of childhood trauma, and strategies for moving towards emotional security. The episode also explores the difficulties middle-aged men face with commitment and offers practical advice for dating and self-reflection. Emphasizing the importance of personal growth and self-love, the hosts encourage listeners to understand their own attachment needs and to seek healthier connections.
