Secure Love Is Built, Not Found | Julie Menanno
About this episode
Julie Menanno discusses the foundations of secure love and the dynamics of attachment styles in relationships.
Couples therapist and Secure Love author Julie Menanno joins Ben Hopkins to unpack what actually creates secure love and why most couples try to create change in the exact wrong way. Julie explains why validation and emotional safety open the nervous system to growth, how to “accept the person but not the behavior,” and what anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment can look like in real relationships. We talk about: Why anxious attachment can chase highs and comebacks Why avoidant attachment fears failure and shuts down Disorganized attachment: unpredictability, overwhelm, and dissociation How couples learn emotional skills in the moment What secure love feels like: calm, connection, and repair Exploring the benefits of red and infra light therapy?
