#34 - Becoming More Securely Attached w/ Elizabeth Gillette

With all the buzz of attachment theory, it’s easy to think being securely attached is “better” and being insecurely attached is “worse.” But what if we were able to shift this perspective and bring a kinder, gentler approach to attachment theory?

In this episode, I sat down with Elizabeth Gillette, LCSW, who is an attachment specialist that supports her clients in developing secure ways of relating and improving their relationships.

We cover:

where our attachment styles originate
how to interrupt the guilt + shame that comes up during an insecure moment
“the work” needed to become a secure, loving partner
how to show up with more authenticity and integrity

…and more!

Here are the books Elizabeth Mentioned in the episode:

Hold Me Tight - Sue Johnson
Diane Poole Heller - The Power of Attachment
No Bad Parts - Richard Schwartz
Polyvagal Exercises for Safety and Connection - Deb Dana
