How to Be More Securely Attached in Relationships with Dr. Amir Levine
About this episode
Dr. Amir Levine discusses attachment styles and how to achieve secure attachment in various relationships.
We are beyond honored to be joined by the modern master of adult attachment theory – Dr. Amir Levine! The neuroscientist and co-author of the bestselling book Attached, and his new release Secure, is here to explain the four attachment styles and how they dictate our lives, and how anyone (yes, anyone) can become more secure in romantic relationships, friendships, family dynamics, and more. He walks us through the five attributes of secure attachment (CARRP), and the importance of seemingly insignificant minor interactions (SIMIs). We talk about whether an avoidant person and an anxious person can work out romantically, his technique of “wall tennis with love” to use with an avoidant, why predictability in a partner is hot not boring, his rule for managing a conflict with someone you love, and why secure attachment is contagious. Before Amir joins us, Rayna recaps her movers coming, Ashley has an unpopular food opinion to discuss, and we talk about how much your best friend should know about your sex life. Enjoy!
