Intro

In this episode, Matt speaks with Counsellor Ken Reid about attachment styles in dating and relationships. Together they unpack how attachment styles can impact whether or not we choose to be in monogamous or non monogamous relationships. They explore the impact of trauma on the development of insecure attachment styles, and what we can do to heal if we find ourselves anxious or avoidant in our relationships. 

The concepts and questions we explore in this episode are:

1. What is an attachment style?
2. Secure vs insecure attachment styles
3. Monogamy vs non monogamy when it comes to attachment styles 
4. How insecurity may influence you choice between monogamy and non monogamy 
5. How anxious people date and show up in relationships
6. How avoidant people date and show up in relationships
7. What can we do to move towards more security in our attachment style?
