Determining Your Attachment Style and How to Shift It

There is this idea that attachment is bad and we should let all our attachment go. But in reality, attachment is extremely important. We are designed to get attached to things for our own survival. And by learning our attachment style, we also learn so much about ourselves, how we operate and what our needs are. So what’s your attachment style?   In this Musing of The Deep Dive with me, Adam Roa, I unravel attachment, specifically attachment theory. It’s a very complex theory, although I bring you a simplified version to ensure you build a basic understanding of your own style of attachment. Plus, I explain ways you can spot attachment styles in others, as well as how you can actively shift your own attachment style (yes, you can change it!).   This episode is inspired by my single, GO, because after writing it, I realize much of my attachment was woven within it.    Baby will you come back home, I’m dying. Every time you call my name, I’m there. Baby will you come back home, I’m trying. But, you go.   Be sure to check out GO here.   What you’ll learn: The four different attachment styles How to determine your personal attachment style Why attachment isn’t bad How to actively shift your attachment style How to use your attachment to get your needs met   Learn your attachment style:   Check out this free attachment style quiz here.   Learn more about attachment styles:    I highly recommend checking out the book, Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help You Find - and Keep - Love.   Download my latest single, Chase Me, here.
