66. Attachment Theory and How to Develop Secure Attachments in Dating with Lauren Zamora

Coming up on this episode of Flirtations, we have licensed marriage and family therapist and dating coach Lauren Zamora to talk about one of the hottest topics when it comes to dating and relationships — attachment theory.

We’re breaking down what attachment theory is, how our attachment styles develop and the different types, and what it truly means to feel secure in love and relationships.

We’ll also explore the core wounds behind both anxious and avoidant attachment styles, how these wounds show up in dating, and why the anxious/avoidant dynamic plays out so often. Why does this duo seem to attract each other?

Plus, we’ll discuss communication, whether attachment styles follow gender roles, and perhaps most importantly—how to start healing attachment wounds and build a more secure, connected relationship with both yourself and others.

If you’re ready to deepen your self-awareness and create more secure, fulfilling relationships, this episode is for you.

Let’s go flirties, time to meet Lauren!
