145. Attachment Theory and Romantic Relationships Ft. Thomas Westenholz

A Word To The Wise

We're peeling back the layers of the four attachment styles—secure, anxious, dismissive-avoidant, and fearful-avoidant—to discover the profound ways in which they shape our interactions with those closest to us.
We navigate the delicate interplay of attachment patterns in romantic partnerships, uncovering strategies to foster true intimacy without falling prey to misguided dating advice. Learn how a securely attached partner can be a cornerstone for an anxious individual's journey towards stability, and the remarkable shifts in self-awareness that can lead to healthier relationship choices.
As we wrap up our enriching dialogue, we shine a spotlight on the emerging field of psychedelic therapy and its role in mental health and relationship healing. With a focus on harm reduction, we discuss the therapeutic potentials and risks of substances like MDMA, psilocybin, and DMT.
