The number one best predictor of our relationships, of happiness, is our relationship.
Ever feel like you're stuck in a cycle of bad relationships? Maybe you're always picking the wrong partner or obsessing over every little text. In this episode of 'A Little Help For Our Friends', hosts Jacqueline Trumbull and Dr. Kibby McMahon sit down with Dr. Catherine Sanderson to tackle these very issues. Dr. Sanderson, a psychology professor at Amherst College, dives into attachment theory and how it shapes our relationships. But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom!
She offers hope and practical advice on how we can break free from unhealthy patterns. Dr. Sanderson explains that while we might have ingrained patterns—whether secure or insecure—we're not doomed to repeat the same mistakes forever. Through self-awareness, better conflict resolution, and open communication, we can improve our attachment styles and build healthier relationships. She also touches on the importance of friendships, finding the right therapist, and recognizing avoidant attachment behaviors.
This episode is packed with scientifically-backed tips and personal stories that make complex theories easy to understand. If you've ever wondered why your love life feels like a broken record, this conversation could be your key to change. Tune in to learn how to shift your mindset and enhance your happiness in relationships.
