In this episode Preston and Margaret dive into the science and personal experiences surrounding attachment theory. They discuss its origins, its modern-day interpretations, and how it shows up in everyday relationships.
Takeaways:
Attachment is Dynamic: Attachment theory isn’t a fixed diagnosis—it’s a lens to understand how people relate to others and themselves.
Repair Builds Resilience: Healthy relationships are not conflict-free but can recover from disagreements and grow stronger.
Pop Psych Oversimplifies: Modern discussions about attachment styles often miss the nuance and flexibility inherent in these frameworks.
Therapy is Practice: Therapy can rewire attachment patterns by creating safe spaces for emotional repair and connection.
Humor as a Shield: Humor can be a tool for connection but also a way to avoid vulnerability—knowing the difference matters.
