Attached: Finding Love With Your Adult Attachment Style

Episode 150: One of the biggest epiphanies I've had in the dating world recently is that many of us have different attachment styles. Sometimes the reason why it doesn't work out with another person is both on a biological and an emotional level. We are made differently and we have different needs. If you've often felt "needy" in relationships, you need to hear this. If you've often felt distant in relationships, you need to hear this. If you've fallen prey to believing that you must avoid, at all costs, becoming "attached" or "dependent" on your partner, then you need to hear this. A misconception going around right now in the self-help world is that the only right way to be in a relationship is when it involves two self-sufficient, independent people coming together in mutual respect. It's said that you must never rely on another person to fill your needs, and you must become whatever it is that you would want from a partner. If you've found yourself believing this, I think you're going to enjoy a realistic breath of fresh air. On a biological stand-point, this belief is unrealistic because it is impossible. Dependency in a relationship is not optional. Enjoy listening in, and feel free to leave a comment below if you have any questions or insight!
