This episode explores how early experiences—including adoption shape our attachment styles and the way we relate to others. This episode briefly covers the four attachment styles—secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganised—and how they may show up in adulthood, such as seeking reassurance, avoiding closeness, or feeling conflicted in relationships.
The key message: our past influences how we connect, but with awareness and support, these patterns can shift toward more secure and fulfilling relationships.
