Why Learn Your Attachment Style?

• What are attachment styles? How many of our listeners know their attachment style?

• Information about each what each insecure attachment style is

• Can your attachment style change? How to heal your attachment style

• Why learning our attachment style has helped us, how our attachment styles affects our relationships and friendships

In this episode we talk all about attachment styles from how to know your attachment style, to how attachment styles effect relationships, to some tips to change your attachment style. Obviously we are not experts, but we do know a fair bit about attachment styles from our own experience (plus we’ve done a lotttt of research).

We begin the episode by breaking down insecure attachment styles: Maria tells us about what an anxious attachment style is, and Honey tells us about what an avoidant attachment style is (hint: those are each of their attachment styles).We also cover the other two attachment styles: fearful avoidant and secure, before moving on to how these symptoms have manifested for us.

We attempt to give some tips for healing insecure attachment styles, which includes at the very least recognising the symptoms of your attachment style and trying to unlearn your triggers over time. Then, in case we hadn’t already convinced you just how important knowing your attachment style is, we explain how knowing our attachment styles have helped us.

We end the episode with some polls we did a while ago where we asked you guys whether you know your attachment style (we’d be surprised if, after listening to at least one other episode of our podcast, you didn’t) and if it’s helped you in any way.

Even though it can, at first, be overwhelming to learn your attachment style (one friend told us recently that she felt attacked after an attachment style quiz which ‘read her to filth’) it’s definitely important to understand how it can affect the way you form attachments with people, and even impact who you choose as a partner in future!

We hope you enjoy the episode, we have plenty more information on our social media about attachment styles. You can do the test for attachment style mentioned in the episode here:

May we all become securely attached!
