How we heal: Rethinking attachment through the lens of AEDP with Dr. Diana Fosha and Karen Pando Mars

In this episode, the creator of AEDP, Dr. Diana Fosha, psychotherapist Karen Pando-Mars, and I dive into the science of healing attachment wounds and exploring how AEDP can help people create healthier patterns.

Together we explore:

- What exactly is AEDP, directly from the creator of this therapy modality herself

- Unpacking how and why attachment "styles" aren't as fixed as we often think, and may not even be the most accurate way of thinking about attachment security...and what actually is!

- What the research reveals about repairing attachment ruptures and how to get through them in order to establish a secure attachment relationship.

- An exercise in reflective functioning and the types of things you can say to model and build this skill in your child.

- A trick for allowing yourself to stay in a feeling of discomfort or shame without immediately going straight to defensiveness.

- What people with different attachment styles need to start to move more toward secure attachment.

Tune in for a discussion that will shift your perspective on attachment, healing, and the power of connection.
