If you have an insecure attachment style (or your partner does - or both of you do) - can you have a healthy relationship? And how do you know if an issue that comes up is something that you&#39;ll actually be able to fix? Avoidant, anxious, island, wave - or secure - sure, it&#39;s helpful to be able to identify your attachment style - but what can you actually do about the unhealthy patterns that arise? Today we&#39;re going to talk about what it really looks like to move from insecure to secure attachment - and how to get out of an unhealthy dynamic into something more positive. As always, I’m looking forward to your thoughts on this episode and what revelations and questions it creates for you.

In the off chance that you or someone you love has one of the main insecure attachment styles, which can cause a lot of problems in a relationship, today, I would like to talk about what a healthy relationship can look like no matter what kind of attachment style you have. And along with that, I want you to be able to tell if your relationship realistically has the potential to improve or not. And we&#39;ll also get into why your attachment style can have such a big impact and what to do about it. So that&#39;s all in today&#39;s show.
