Podcasts about Attachment

A practitioner in Heilongjiang Province has done an in depth examination of his fundamental attachments and determined where he has clung to his desire to arrange things in this life as he sees best, as well as his attachments to self-centeredness. This and other experience-sharing from the Minghui website.Original Articles:1. Getting Rid of My Fundamental Attachment2. The Illusion of My Mother's Illness Was Aimed at My Attachments3.

In Part 2 of Five Love Languages Reimagined for Gay Men, Ken Howard, LCSW, CST explores why receiving gifts and physical touch can mean far more than they seem. Gifts may communicate that your partner stayed in your mind; touch can offer comfort, safety, and belonging without needing to lead to sex. Ken connects these everyday moments to attachment, the histories gay men bring into relationships, and a central question for couples: does the way I'm loving you actually feel like love to you?

How do we begin to understand the landscape of our soul in light of our spiritual journey? What does it look like to live a more integrated life—one that honors the connection between mind, body, and spirit?For pastors and authors Cyd and Geoff Holsclaw, these questions became deeply personal as they explored their own spiritual formation and the hidden forces that shape the way we relate to God, ourselves, and others. Drawing from the science of attachment and its profound spiritual implications, they have examined how our earliest experiences of connection can influence our understanding of God, our relationships, and the way we navigate the world. In their book, Landscapes of the Soul: How the Science and Spirituality of Attachment Can Move You into Confident Faith, Courage, and Connection, they offer a compelling framework for cultivating deeper intimacy with God and greater wholeness in our lives.In this conversation, Davey, Cyd, and Geoff explore why faith and healing can sometimes feel disconnected, how attachment theory provides a powerful lens for understanding our spiritual lives, and what it looks like to navigate the terrain of our souls with compassion, honesty, and grace.If you've ever wondered how your past experiences continue to shape your relationships, your faith, or the way you see yourself and God, this episode offers both insight and hope. No matter what terrain you've traveled, healing and transformation remain possible through Christ, deeper self-awareness, and the secure connection we were created to experience.

In this episode, licensed therapist Kati Morton dives deep into attachment theory, explaining the four primary attachment styles—secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized—and how they shape your adult relationships and sessions with your therapist. Kati also addresses how to bring up political differences or uncomfortable topics without fear of judgment, and answers your most pressing community questions.

He was obsessed with you. Texting every day, planning the future, making you feel chosen... and then suddenly? Cold. Distant. Gone.If you've ever asked yourself "what did I do wrong?" - you didn't. You triggered his avoidance.In this raw episode, I'm breaking down the real psychology behind avoidant men - not the TikTok version. We're talking about why high-achieving, powerful women specifically attract avoidant men, why your closeness feels like a threat to him, and why chasing him will only make him run further. This is not about fixing him. This is about getting your power back. IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER:Why he pulled away right when things were getting goodThe 5 hidden signs you're dealing with an avoidant man (not just a busy man)The Anxious-Avoidant trap that keeps powerful women stuckWhy your success and feminine energy can actually trigger his pull-backExactly what to do when he goes cold - to stay in your soft, high-value eraIf you've ever been left confused, anxious, and overthinking a man who pulled away, this episode is your closure. It's time to stop asking why he left and start understanding why you chased.Listen now, save it, and send this to a friend who needs to hear it.

‘In the process of attachment, there is pain. To avoid that pain, we try to cultivate detachment. And so we keep up this circle, which is always painful.' This episode on Detachment has three sections. The first extract (2:42) is from Krishnamurti's fifth talk in Saanen 1982, and is titled: Detachment Is Just an Idea. The second extract (21:35) is from the first talk in Bangalore 1971, and is titled: The Pursuit of Detachment. The final extract in this episode (43:21) is from the first talk in Ojai 1949, and is titled: Where There Is Love, There Is No Question of Attachment or Detachment. The Krishnamurti Podcast features carefully selected extracts from Krishnamurti's recorded talks. Each episode highlights his different approaches to universal and timeless subjects that affect our everyday lives, the state of the world and the future of humanity. This episode's theme is Detachment. Upcoming themes are Harmony, plus many more in Season 8. This is a podcast from Krishnamurti Foundation Trust, based at Brockwood Park in the UK, which is also home to The Krishnamurti Centre. The Centre offers a variety of group retreats, including for young adults. There is also a volunteer programme. The atmosphere at the Centre is one of openness and friendliness, with a sense of freedom to inquire with others and alone. Please visit krishnamurticentre.org.uk for more information.

What if she already loves you as much as she is capable of loving anybody? And it's still not enough for you.Not because she's cruel. Not because she's punishing you. Not because there's a switch you haven't found yet. The tank just isn't that big.I had an attachment expert named Cassie on my live stream, and she told me a story I haven't been able to shake. She'd been with an avoidant man who discarded her with no real explanation. Nine months later they ran into each other and he lit up like he hadn't seen her in twenty years. Then he told her he loved her for the first time. "I love you more than anybody or anything I've ever loved. But I can't be what you need."She believed him. Both halves of it. His love was real, and it was still smaller than what she needed.I sat there listening and thought, half the men watching my channel are living that exact story with the roles flipped.Because you've heard your own version of that sentence. "I love you, I'm just not a very sexual person." "It's not you, it's me." "I don't know why I'm like this."And you didn't believe her. You treated it like a puzzle. You lost the weight, you did the chores, you stopped complaining, you did the counseling, you handed her the books. You escalated to every department in the building looking for a different answer.In this video I'm talking about capacity. What it is, why it's not the same thing as willingness, and why you cannot beg, argue, therapize, or hand a thousand books into somebody's capacity getting bigger. People build that alone, if they ever build it at all.Cassie put it a way I liked. It's like a feral cat. All the chasing in the world does nothing. All you can do is stop.And I'll be straight with you about the part most guys get wrong. "Stop chasing" is not a strategy to get her back. If you're doing it to get her back, you're still chasing. You've just gotten quieter about it.

A full hour LIVE with therapist and author Laura How — one of the very few women publicly saying what she says about sexless marriages. So few, in fact, that the wives in her own village have stopped saying hello.We covered a lot of ground: whether you should stay when the in-love feelings fade, why "I fell out of love" is usually an ego defense, what attachment dysfunction actually is (hint: it's arrested development, and it's everywhere), the rise of "the ick," why your algorithm has convinced you all women are avoidant, and the myth that a wife who isn't intimate with you must be getting it somewhere else.Then I saved the hot-button for last. I told Laura about the men who feel forgotten after kids arrive — husbands demoted to co-parent and roommate for 18 years — and about the reaction that message always gets online: "You big baby. Change more diapers, then maybe I'll have energy for you." I asked for her honest take.Her answer: "I reject it entirely. I call BS." What follows — on staying lovers after kids, the "devouring mother," what your children actually feel when mom and dad are okay, and why a woman keeping her sexuality alive is something she does for HERSELF — is the strongest ten minutes on this topic I've had on this channel. 

Healing isn't about forgetting. It's about helping your nervous system understand that what happened is in the past, while allowing your heart to remain open to love, connection, and hope. Sometimes the greatest freedom comes when we gently release what was never ours to carry. In this episode of Tendrils of Grief, I welcome Dr. Laurel Parnell, psychologist, internationally recognized trauma expert, and developer of Attachment-Focused EMDR, Resource Tapping, and Multidimensional Integrative Healing, for a deeply insightful conversation about healing after loss. For more than four decades, Dr. Parnell has helped people recover from trauma by integrating psychology, neuroscience, attachment theory, and spirituality. She has trained thousands of clinicians around the world and continues to advance the field of trauma healing through her clinical work, teaching, and writing. Together, we explore one of the most important questions in grief: What if some of the pain you're carrying was never yours to begin with? Drawing from her newest book, Releasing What Isn't Yours, Dr. Parnell explains how grief, trauma, inherited beliefs, and emotional burdens can become stored in the nervous system, affecting the way we think, feel, and respond to life's challenges. We also discuss how Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps the brain process painful experiences so they become memories of the past rather than experiences that continue to overwhelm the present. Rather than erasing grief, EMDR helps people remember with less emotional distress, allowing healing to unfold naturally. Throughout our conversation, Dr. Parnell offers a compassionate perspective on trauma, resilience, spirituality, and the remarkable capacity each of us has to heal. Whether you're grieving the loss of a loved one, working through childhood wounds, or simply longing to experience greater peace, this episode provides hope that healing is possible.

Stress, burnout, and emotional overload silently derail even the most talented leaders. Today's guest, Dr. Julie Donley, a psychiatric nurse, leadership coach, and author, has transformed decades of personal hardship and frontline experience into practical tools that help leaders become more resilient, emotionally intelligent, and effective with their teams. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Dr. Julie shares how surviving 17–18 surgeries, serious illness, divorce, single parenting, and financial hardship forged her perspective on change and leadership. Out of that journey came her book, Does Change Have to Be So Hard?, in which she breaks down why change is H.A.R.D. (Habits, Attachment, Resistance, Discouragement) and how to make it E.A.S.Y. using neuroscience, mindset shifts, and simple, repeatable strategies. Instead of getting stuck in “Why me?”, she shows leaders how to ask, “What can I learn from this?” and use adversity as curriculum for growth. Dr. Julie dives into the human side of leadership, how to protect your attention, avoid “shiny object syndrome,” and use clear goals and vision to stay focused in a noisy, fast-paced world. Drawing on her decades in psychiatric nursing and leadership, she explains why emotional intelligence, boundaries, and self-awareness are now competitive advantages, especially as AI and technology accelerate. Her Leading at the Speed of People framework and C.A.R.E. model (Communicate, Appreciate, Respect, Empathize) help leaders create environments where people feel seen, supported, and inspired instead of burned out and checked out. You'll also hear why mentors, coaches, and community are non-negotiable if you want to grow faster and avoid avoidable mistakes. Dr. Julie talks about the danger of negativity, whether from family, coworkers, or social media, and why curating what (and who) you allow into your head is essential for resilience. She shares practical ways to shift from scarcity (“I don't have enough…”) to intentional creation, using mindset, structure, and support systems to move from survival mode to a life and career you're genuinely proud of. https://youtu.be/_E1iBtHOH2c?si=tnbKAU8bv8yNSgv0 If you're a manager suddenly thrust into leadership, a business owner feeling overwhelmed, or a high performer who's quietly burning out, this conversation will give you tools and hope. You'll learn how to define success on your own terms, lead at the speed of people, not just technology, and become “unapologetically you” while creating environments where others can thrive too. Quotes: “You are not alone, even if it feels that way. Your job is to find the mentors, the teachers, and the support that shorten your learning curve.” “Leaders underestimate how hungry people are for attention, nurturing, and simple human kindness.” “I believe we have far more power than we know how to use, and most of us are giving that power away without even realizing it.” Contact Details: Lead with Confidence; Transform Your Leadership Today: Visit the Official Website of Dr. Julie Donley  Follow Dr. Julie Donley on Facebook for Emotional Intelligence Tips, and Practical Strategies Connect with Dr. Julie Donley on LinkedIn for Leadership Insights That Inspire Action Unlock Better Leadership; Subscribe to Dr. Julie Donley on YouTube Get Inspired; Follow Dr. Julie Donley on Instagram Does Change Have to Be So Hard on Amazon

Send us Fan MailIn March of 2022 I recorded my first episode on Attachment to God. In this episode I build on that first release. For those who did not hear that episode, I'm including it in this one. I still believe, even now more than ever, that our closeness to God is the key to relationships with his children whether they be friends, family, colleagues--everyone. The first great commandment is first for a reason. It provides the foundation to all other relationships. __________________________Do you have questions or comments?Please contact me: rtosguthorpe@gmail.comWant more info about my books and talks?Go to my website: https://www.russelltosguthorpe.com/Want to order a book?

Drop us some Fan Mail. Thanks!When we think about attachment in adoption and foster care, we usually focus on the child. But parents bring their own attachment histories and life experiences into the relationship as well. Dr. Chaitra Wirta-Leiker explores how a parent's past can shape their parenting, influence reactions to challenging behaviors, and impact family connection and healing. Dr. Wirta-Leiker is a licensed psychologist, transnational and transracial adoptee, adoptive parent, creator of the National Adoptee-Therapist Directory, and author of the Adoptees Like Me children's book series.In this episode, we discuss:When we talk about trauma and attachment in adoption and foster care, most of the focus tends to be on the child. Why is it equally important to explore the parents' history?What do parents sometimes miss about the role their own experiences play in parenting?Why can it feel uncomfortable or even threatening for parents to turn the lens inward rather than focusing exclusively on the child?Can you give us a working definition of what you mean by "attachment" so we are all on the same page?How does that relationship from our childhood influence our parenting style now? The 4 major adult attachment styles, and what do they look or feel like in our parent-child relationship:SecureAnxious/PreoccupiedAvoidant/DismissiveDisorganized/UnresolvedMany parents hear descriptions of attachment styles and immediately start self-diagnosing. Why is that unwise or unhelpful? And what do you want parents to understand about using these concepts as tools for growth rather than labels?How do unresolved childhood experiences or trauma shape our parenting responses?Our kids with their histories of trauma, attachment disruptions, grief, losses, and trauma often bring those into our relationships. When these histories intersect with our unresolved experiences, both parent and child can feel triggered.What are some common ways our history of trauma may get activated—or "triggered"—by our adopted or foster children?How can we talk to ourselves when we feel that activation happening? Scripts we can use or messaging we can rehearse?Are there certain child behaviors that tend to be especially activating for parents with unresolved attachment or trauma wounds? What is happening neurologically and emotionally when a parent feels disproportionately angry, hurt, rejected, or powerless in response to a child's behavior?Why do you think parenting in adoption and foster care is uniquely effective at exposing unresolved issues that a parent may not have known were there?How do our parental expectations—about bonding, gratitude, trust, or family life—sometimes become obstacles to connection?What are some signs we notice when we are responding from our own history rather than from what the child actually needs in the moment?What signs can we notice in our kids to help us see that we may be responding from our own histories?What does healthy self-awareness look like for adoptive and foster parents?When parents recognize their own triggers, what practical steps can they take in the moment?How can parents begin exploring their own attachment history safely and productively?Is it possible to move toward a more secure attachment style as an adult?

But what if anger is not the problem?In this episode, Dr Vignesh Devraj explores anger through the lens of psychology, Ayurveda, and spirituality, revealing that anger is often a messenger rather than the enemy itself. Beneath every outburst may be a deeper emotion asking to be heard: hurt, fear, grief, disrespect, or the need for healthy boundaries.Dr Vignesh explains the difference between destructive anger that protects the ego and creative anger that protects truth, justice, and dignity. He also discusses why people with chronic anger often struggle to express vulnerability, how unresolved emotional wounds affect the body, and what Ayurveda teaches about the relationship between anger, Pitta, inflammation, digestion, and chronic pain.Rather than encouraging suppression, this episode offers a practical framework for transforming anger into awareness, healing, and purposeful action.Episode Highlights:Understanding the true purpose of angerCreative vs destructive angerThe hidden wound beneath angerAyurveda's perspective on Pitta & angerWhy attachment fuels angerTransforming anger into purposeful actionTimestamps:00:00 – 03:50: What Is Anger Really Trying To Tell You?03:50 – 07:50: The Hidden Pain Beneath Anger07:50 – 11:20: Ayurveda, Pitta & The Physiology Of Anger11:20 – 15:50: Attachment, Expectations & The Bhagavad Gita15:50 – 19:50: When Anger Becomes A Force For Change19:50 – 22:55: Choosing Your Battles & Channelling Anger WiselyAbout Dr Vignesh DevrajDr Vignesh Devraj is a fourth-generation Ayurvedic physician and the founder of Sitaram Retreat, Kerala, a space for authentic healing.

Join the Secure Self Challenge hereToday's episode is part 3 of my Attachment & Conflict series, and we're talking all about how to transform the way you do conflict. I'll be sharing general tips and mindset shifts for how to approach conflict, as well as specific guidance for both anxious and avoidant partners on what to do (and not to do) to avoid getting pulled into those all-too-familiar negative cycles.

You have been told your marriage failed because you did not communicate, or because she stopped being attracted to you. After 15 years running Husband Help Haven, I think both explanations are mostly wrong. In this episode I walk through five things I changed my mind about: why she is hurting rather than cruel, why connection (not attraction) is the real needle-mover in reconciliation, and why navigating separation is simpler than the industry makes it look.

He grew up in Barbados and moved to the United States of America as a young adult. Neville Goddard was perhaps the last century's most intellectually substantive and charismatic purveyor of the philosophy generally called New Thought. He wrote more than ten books under the solitary pen name Neville, and was a popular speaker on metaphysical themes from the late 1930s until his death in 1972.Possessed of a self-educated and uncommonly sharp intellect, Neville espoused a spiritual vision that was bold and total: Everything you see and experience, including other people, is the result of your own thoughts and emotional states. Each of us dreams into existence an infinitude of realities and outcomes. When you realize this, Neville taught, you will discover yourself to be a slumbering branch of the Creator clothed in human form, and at the helm of limitless possibilities.Neville's thought system influenced a wide range of spiritual thinkers and writers, from bestselling author Dr. Joseph Murphy to Rhonda Byrne and Wayne Dyer.He has inspired and continues to inspire millions of readers around the world.* * *SOCIALS:• Neville Goddard Newsletter• Neville Goddard Telegram• Neville Goddard Instagram• Neville Goddard Threads• Neville Goddard Twitter• Neville Goddard YouTube* * *ABOUT THE COURSEUnlock God Mode is a transformative 30-day course designed to accelerate your journey towards greater wealth, love, and success through a deeper understanding and manipulation of your reality.  Comprising of 30 audio lessons, this course unfolds as a self-paced, introspective expedition into reality creation, aiding you in elevating your consciousness to what's referred to as the God Mode. Throughout this journey, practical tools will be provided daily to help enrich your life with more love, money, and success by altering your mental models and perceptions. This course combines theory and hands-on experience to create a unique deep dive into manifestation, consciousness, and reality creation.

[Content Warning]: Discussions of childhood trauma, addiction, feelings of isolation, abandonment wounds What does it actually take to heal, not manage, not cope, but truly heal, from the wounds we carry from childhood? In this episode of Trauma Interrupted, Jan Broberg sits down with Jessica Baum, licensed mental health counselor, founder of the Relationship Institute of Palm Beach, and author of the new book SAFE, to explore what the neuroscience of healing really tells us.  Jessica brings her expertise in interpersonal neurobiology and attachment theory to some of the questions survivors ask most: Why can't I just heal on my own? Why do my closest relationships feel the most unsafe? Why do I keep repeating the same patterns no matter how many self-help books I read?  The answer, she explains, lives in the body, in streams of implicit memory laid down long before we had words for what was happening to us. And the path is not a solo one. Healing, Jessica argues, requires at least one anchoring relationship: a safe nervous system to hold space while we revisit and integrate what we could not process alone.  Jan shares her own journey openly in this conversation, her experience of intergenerational trauma, the abandonment wounds she carried into adult relationships, and the moment when being truly believed by another person accelerated her healing in ways decades of effort had not.  Jessica also introduces her free Wheel of Attachment tool and a 40-minute bonus conversation with her mentor Bonnie Badenoch.

Do you think about your therapist between sessions? Check their social media? Spiral when they cancel? A licensed therapist explains why attachment to your therapist happens, why it's actually part of the process, and the exact signs that tell you when it's crossed into unhealthy territory. In this episode of Ask Kati Anything, licensed marriage and family therapist Kati Morton breaks down the therapeutic relationship: the single strongest predictor of whether therapy actually works. She answers listener questions about feeling "creepy" for looking up their therapist, why therapy can feel transactional and fake, and what therapists are really noticing about you in session. Then she walks through the attachment ladder, the four stages that explain why your therapist starts to feel like the only person who truly gets you, and closes with a complete checklist of healthy vs. unhealthy therapeutic relationship signs.

What if your thoughts and emotions are not who you truly are? In this deeply transformative episode of The Healing You Method Podcast, Gloria Lybecker and Gail Donohue sit down with nervous system and awareness guide Tiffany O'Hearn for a powerful conversation on emotional regulation, self-awareness, trauma healing, nervous system regulation, mindfulness, and conscious living. Tiffany shares how nervous system dysregulation can shape our reactions, relationships, beliefs, emotional patterns, and subconscious conditioning — and how learning to pause, witness, and respond with awareness can change the way we experience ourselves and the world around us. Together, they explore how trauma, triggers, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, grief, self-worth, relationship patterns, and old survival responses can begin to soften when we meet ourselves with compassion instead of shame. In this episode, we explore: ✨ Nervous system regulation and emotional healing ✨ Why you are not your thoughts, emotions, or reactions ✨ Trauma, triggers, and subconscious conditioning ✨ Conscious self-observation and self-awareness ✨ The "Witness Within" and learning to pause before reacting ✨ Healing through compassion instead of shame ✨ Self-love practices for emotional regulation ✨ Attachment, awareness, and relationship triggers ✨ Spiritual growth without toxic positivity ✨ How mindfulness creates freedom, clarity, and intentional choice Tiffany also shares her powerful "Try It On" philosophy — an invitation to experience healing practices for yourself instead of simply intellectualizing them. This grounded approach offers a compassionate way to explore nervous system awareness, emotional resilience, trauma recovery, and personal transformation. This episode is for anyone navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, relationship triggers, grief, self-worth, trauma recovery, nervous system dysregulation, or the desire to live with more peace, clarity, and authenticity. Whether you are on a healing journey, exploring mindfulness, deepening your self-awareness, or learning how to respond instead of react, this conversation offers practical wisdom, emotional safety, and grounded compassion.

Michael continues his conversation with Dr. Curt Thompson, picking up where last week left off. There's a tender ache running underneath the neuroscience here — the ten-year-old boy on a summer evening, looking for permission to just be a kid, and the mother who couldn't see it. Most of us carry some version of that missed look, and Curt names how the body remembers what the mind can't always explain.From there, the conversation moves into the architecture behind that ache: the domains of consciousness and body, the difference between sensing and making sense, and why the left and right hemispheres were never meant to compete. Curt weaves in Scripture, his clinical work, and his own story to show how attention, attunement, and embodied presence shape not just our relationships but our capacity to receive love itself.Dr. Curt Thompson is a psychiatrist, author of Anatomy of the Soul and The Soul of Shame, and a leading voice on the intersection of neuroscience and spiritual formation. This conversation is drawn from his 12-part video series, offered in conjunction with his book, The Soul of Desire, published by InterVarsity Press.Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!

Betrayal doesn't only break trust in another person; it can also rupture your trust in yourself. In this episode, Vanessa explores why betrayal can feel so psychologically disorganizing, especially when harm comes from someone or something that was supposed to feel safe. We talk about betrayal trauma, betrayal blindness, attachment injury, projection, reality testing, and why not every devastating feeling is the same kind of event. The deeper healing is not becoming harder or more armored, but learning how to grieve specifically, see more clearly, and trust yourself again.Reference Links: Jennifer Freyd — Betrayal Trauma TheoryUse for: Betrayal trauma theory; harm from someone or something a person depends on or trusts.Link: https://dynamic.uoregon.edu/jjf/defineBT.htmlNote: Freyd's site defines betrayal trauma and includes betrayal blindness.Jennifer Freyd — Betrayal BlindnessUse for: Why people may not fully register betrayal when they depend on the person, institution, or system doing harm.Link: https://dynamic.uoregon.edu/jjf/defineBT.htmlNote: The site describes betrayal blindness as unawareness, not-knowing, and forgetting that can preserve relationships, institutions, or systems people depend on.Jennifer Freyd — Research OverviewUse for: General background on Freyd's concepts, including betrayal trauma, betrayal blindness, DARVO, institutional betrayal, and institutional courage.Link: https://www.jjfreyd.com/about-researchNote: Helpful author/researcher page for show notes.Sue Johnson / Emotionally Focused Therapy — Attachment InjuryUse for: Attachment injury and emotionally focused therapy as a framework for repairing relational ruptures.Link: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/6644242_Resolving_Attachment_Injuries_in_Couples_Using_Emotionally_Focused_Therapy_Steps_Toward_Forgiveness_and_ReconciliationNote: Makinen and Johnson's 2006 paper, Resolving Attachment Injuries in Couples Using Emotionally Focused Therapy.Emotionally Focused Therapy / Attachment-Based HealingUse for: Sue Johnson's attachment-based framework for couples, emotional connection, and secure bonding.Link: https://psychwire.com/free-resources/q-and-a/17qfr27/emotionally-focused-therapy-and-attachment-based-healingNote: Accessible overview of Sue Johnson's EFT frame.Peter Fonagy / MentalizationUse for: Mentalization as the capacity to understand behavior in terms of mental states: thoughts, feelings, needs, desires, intentions, and motivations.Link: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7009316/Note: This article gives a clear definition of mentalization and cites Fonagy/Bateman's work.ScienceDirect — Mentalization OverviewUse for: Simple definition of mentalization as understanding one's own and others' behavior in terms of internal mental states.Link: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/psychology/mentalizationNote: Useful if producer wants a quick explanatory reference.John Gottman — Trust MetricUse for: Gottman's idea that trust can be evaluated and is central to relationship stability.Link: https://www.gottman.com/blog/trust/Note: Gottman Institute article explaining the “trust metric.”John Gottman — Trust and Betrayal MetricsUse for: Trust/betrayal metrics and the idea that small everyday moments can build or erode trust.Link: https://www.gottman.com/blog/what-makes-love-last-inside-the-love-lab/Note: Gottman Institute article referencing both trust and betrayal metrics.John Gottman — Building Trust Through AttunementUse for: Trust as built through awareness, tolerance, turning toward, understanding, non-defensive listening, and empathy.Link: https://www.gottman.com/blog/the-3-phases-of-love/Note: Useful for the part of the episode about trust being built through consistency, attunement, and repair over time.John Bowlby / Attachment Theory OverviewUse for: Secure base, early bonds, and foundational attachment theory.Link: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4085672/Note: Broad overview of attachment theory and Bowlby/Ainsworth foundations.Earned Secure AttachmentUse for: Adults with insecure early attachment histories developing more secure attachment through reflective and relational work.Link: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/psychology/earned-secure-attachmentNote: Use as a broad reference for earned secure attachment.

I Swear I Don't Want or Need Anything From You, But Secretly, I Do! Your body already knows you are lying. It knows before your mouth forms the sentence. The shoulders lift. The breath shortens. The jaw sets. All of it happens the instant the other person's response falls even slightly short of the invisible standard you refuse to admit exists. That reaction is not disappointment. It is the nervous system catching you in the act of protecting an attachment you have dressed up as love. Most people never see this because the lie is too useful. The phrase “I don't need anything from you” functions as perfect cover. It lets the demand keep running while the mouth claims moral high ground. The demand stays hidden. The attachment stays fed. The suffering stays unnamed. The Buddha did not say attachment to evil things produces suffering. He said attachment itself does. When the object of attachment is the specific ways another person continues to perform, the removal of that performance produces immediate and precise pain. The structure collapses not because love was lost, but because what was called love was never free of the requirement that the other person keep supplying the exact emotional or behavioral return that made the attachment feel like connection.

Send us Fan MailYour Emotions Aren't the Problem: Non-Attachment, Regulation & the REER FrameworkWhat if your emotions were never the problem, and you were just never taught what to do with them? In this solo episode I'm getting honest about the emotional experience, non-attachment, and how we move through our feelings instead of being run by them. We talk about why we chase dopamine hits when we're not taught to regulate, what the Blue Zones reveal about staying well, and what the Bhagavad Gita says about controlling the senses (spoiler: it's like controlling the wind). I break down the Venus into Virgo transit and the honest inventory it's asking for, why proximity and frequency matter more than information, and I share the framework I finally gave a name to: REER. Regulate, Educate, Embody, Radiate.

This week, Jake and Bob are joined by Andrew Laubacher, the Executive Director of Humanality, to explore how our digital world is reshaping our attention, attachments, and relationships. After stepping away from social media and smart phones to overcome addiction, Andrew realized that healing sometimes requires more than better habits, fasting, or more prayer—it requires recovering the way God created us to live and relate. Together, they discuss the false intimacy of online community, the loneliness epidemic, and why technology is never as neutral as we assume. Andrew also shares practical steps you can begin today to live intentionally with technology.   Key Points: Modern technology offers a false intimacy while leaving us increasingly isolated, lonely, and craving real in-person community. Human beings are biologically designed for face-to-face connection, not constant digital interaction. Technology is not neutral because every platform is intentionally designed to keep us using it. AI offers remarkable benefits but also presents significant dangers when it replaces authentic human relationships. Healing requires real encounter, attention, and attachment that technology can never fully provide. Many of today's mental health struggles exist alongside a broader crisis of addiction and overstimulation. Constant digital stimulation weakens our capacity for focus, presence, contemplation, and prayer. It also affects sleep, physical health, eyesight, and overall well-being. Living intentionally with technology allows people to recover creativity, purpose, authentic relationships, and a deeper encounter with God.   Resources: Humanality   Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 06:49 How Technology Diminishes our Humanity 14:04 Artificial Community and False Intimacy 21:03 Can AI Heal Us? 31:10 The Tension of Virtual Communication 36:54 Attention, Attachment, and Addiction 52:33 Reclaiming Your Attention 57:07 Resources and Encouragement   Connect with Restore the Glory:  Instagram: @restoretheglorypodcast  Twitter: @RestoreGloryPod Facebook: Restore the Glory Podcast   Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!

Attachment styles aren't your identity. Dr. Ann Kelley explains secure relating, modern attachment theory, trauma healing, nervous system regulation, relationship repair, shame reduction, and why emotional security is something we actively practice—not something we permanently achieve. How can we, as therapists, help people better understand themselves, improve their relationships, and reduce the shame that accompanies emotional struggles that are often rooted in relational trauma?  It's a basic question at the root of our work and host Emily Ruth invites psychologist, author, and fellow podcaster Ann Kelley, Ph.D., to address it by demystifying the principles of modern attachment theory. Ann draws on her clinical work, research, and experience as co-creator of the podcast Therapist Uncensored to present a compassionate, up-to-date view of attachment that replaces rigid labels with practical strategies for meaningful relational growth.  The conversation also delves into the importance of remaining curious and willing to challenge the limits of our own educational or experiential bias as information evolves. This skill is on full display in Secure Relating: Holding Your Own in an Insecure World, the book Ann co-authored with her "neuronerd" colleague and co-host Sue Marriott, LCSW, CGP. Transforming Trauma thanks Ann for sharing her hopeful yet practical approach to psychological growth. She shares meaningfully on what it means to explore our attachment patterns without judgment or predetermined outcomes.

You were made for beauty and goodness. You feel that, even on the hardest days. What neuroscience is beginning to show us is that this longing isn't incidental. It's written into the architecture of how you were made.In this conversation, psychiatrist and author Curt Thompson opens up the world of interpersonal neurobiology and what it has to do with the soul, how the mind is not the brain but something that emerges between bodies and relationships, how 80 to 85 percent of a newborn's neural networks can only develop in response to someone paying attention, and what it means that God started with dirt before he breathed in life. Curt also brings his own story, the parts of his inner orchestra that never got developed, and why the gospel doesn't just want the polished instruments.This is a rebroadcast of one of the most beloved conversations in the show's history.Dr. Curt Thompson is a psychiatrist and author of Anatomy of the Soul: Surprising Connections Between Neuroscience and Spiritual Practices That Can Transform Your Life and Relationships.Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!

In this episode, Vanessa sits down with Clara Schroeder, ecotherapist and author of Re-Nature: How Nature Helps Us Feel Better and Do Better, for a conversation about ecopsychology, climate grief, ritual, and the healing intelligence of the natural world. Together they explore why “we are nature” is not just a poetic idea, but a psychological and spiritual reality - and how separation from the earth mirrors separation from self, body, belonging, and ritual. They also discuss nature as a co-regulating presence, the specific grief that can follow climate or human-caused ecological disasters, and what it means to repair our attachment with the original mother. This is a conversation about remembering that nature is not outside of us; it is one of the oldest relationships we have.For educational purposes only.
