Podcasts about attachment styles

Attachment styles are everywhere — but what do they actually mean, and how much do they shape the way we love? This week, Scheana is joined by leading attachment theory expert Thais Gibson (founder of The Personal Development School) to break down the four attachment styles, why our adult relationships mirror our earliest bonds, and how insecurity shows up in communication, conflict, and connection. Scheana opens up about learning she's securely attached, while her husband Brock discovered he has a fearful avoidant attachment style — sparking an honest conversation about what it really takes to make different styles work together. Thais explains why attachment styles aren't fixed, how patterns like people-pleasing, self-sabotage, and emotional withdrawal form, and what actually helps move toward secure attachment. This episode isn't about labels or blame — it's about awareness, responsibility, and doing the work. If you've ever wondered why certain relationship patterns keep repeating, this conversation might explain everything.Visit university.personaldevelopmentschool.com and use code PDS2026 for 20% off of the Personal Development School's 90-Day Attachment Healing membership.Follow us: @scheana @scheananigans Guest: @thepersonaldevelopmentschool Purchase your very own copy of the NYT Best-selling book and audiobook MY GOOD SIDE at www.mygoodsidebook.com!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

These days, Dr. Alexandra talks about discernment when approaching the high volume of content available in the realm of mental wellness, self-help, and relationships, so you can sift through what works for you and what doesn't. And a guiding principle is that insight alone is not sufficient. Engaging with content that helps you go from just knowing some new things to embodying these lessons contributes to your depth of understanding and potential for healing. Today's guest found her way into her work through eagerly reading self-help book after self-help book trying to understand herself but determined that the piece she needed for her own healing was the felt, somatic experience of being safe in relationships. And that's not necessarily a romantic relationship, either - that is any anchoring relationship: friends, family members, mentors, pets. This guest is Jessica Baum, licensed psychotherapist and author of the books Anxiously Attached and more recently, Safe: An Attachment-Informed Guide to Building More Secure Relationships, which is the focus of this conversation. You will hear Dr. Alexandra and Jessica Baum discuss:the science of how relationships offer us these healing anchors, and how to create experiences of safety in our bodies, both from the outside in, and the inside out. the dynamic nature of attachment styles, or patterns as Jessica calls them, which runs counter to the way many folks speak about them these days.The Wheel of Attachment, which brings more nuance to the whole topic of attachment. how to begin this type of somatic work to understand our own dynamic attachment patterns and to engage our right hemisphere of the brain more often to enrich and deepen our connections. healing in romantic relationships, and how that's not always available to us in every pairing - but healing through doing our own work always is! Resources worth mentioning from the episode:Safe: An Attachment-Informed Guide to Building More Secure Relationships by Jessica Baum https://jessicabaumlmhc.com/safeConscious Relationship Group https://consciousrelationshipgroup.com/Jessica Baum on IG @jessicabaumlmhc https://www.instagram.com/jessicabaumlmhc/?hl=enContinue the conversation with Dr. Alexandra Solomon:Ask a question!

In this episode, I sit down with Melissa Vogel — fitness and mindset coach, podcast host, and a woman who's been through divorce herself — for one of the most honest conversations I've had about modern relationships.We talk about what really happens to marriages after kids arrive, why men and women slowly disconnect without realizing it, and how good people end up emotionally checked out years before divorce ever happens.Melissa opens up about her own marriage, why she drifted away emotionally long before it ended, and what she wishes someone had told her when she was younger. We get into attachment styles, masculine and feminine polarity, why accountability is so rare, and why “love” alone doesn't save a relationship.We also tackle the uncomfortable topics most people avoid:Why attraction fadesWhy fitness and self-respect matter more than people admit Why men and women cheat for very different reasonsWhy second marriages fail so oftenAnd why many couples quietly become roommates instead of loversThis is the kind of conversation every couple should hear — especially before things break beyond repair.If you're married, divorced, dating, or starting over as a man, this one will hit home.Join the HFM Brotherhood!

Attachment theory is everywhere right now — anxious, avoidant, fearful, secure — but after infidelity, simply understanding your attachment style doesn't stop the emotional whiplash. In this powerful episode, Lora Cheadle is joined by Bryan Power, a Certified Integrated Attachment Theory Coach, for an honest, grounded conversation about how attachment wounds actually show up after betrayal — and what it really takes to heal them. Together, they break down the four attachment styles, explore why betrayal hits attachment at its core, and walk through the six pillars of Integrated Attachment Theory — practical tools that move you from survival and confusion into clarity, safety, and secure connection. This episode goes beyond theory. You'll learn why insight alone doesn't regulate the nervous system, how subconscious wounds drive behavior, and what helps betrayed partners stop feeling “crazy” when triggers hit — without excusing betrayal or bypassing accountability. If you've ever thought, “I know what's happening — so why does it still hurt this much?” — this episode is for you.   Top 3 Takeaways Knowing your attachment style doesn't equal healing You can name your pattern perfectly and still panic when your partner withdraws. Healing happens through felt safety, not logic alone. Betrayal exposes unhealed attachment wounds — in both partners Infidelity doesn't come from nowhere. It often reveals deep subconscious beliefs around safety, abandonment, worth, and betrayal that were never healed. Secure attachment is built — not born Through the six pillars of Integrated Attachment Theory — core wounds, needs, emotions, boundaries, communication, and behavior — couples can move toward safety, clarity, and conscious connection.   Favorite Quote “Attachment wounds don't heal through understanding. They heal through safety — again and again — in real time.” About Bryan In 2024 Bryan Power and his wife would go from having a pretty good relationship to a complete relationship failure. That failure culminated with a restraining order his wife would put against him for her emotional safety. During that breakup time, Bryan would discover the Integrated Attachment Theory Program that would ultimately provide him with the insights and tools necessary to put their relationship back together. Now Bryan uses his inspirational story, personal insights and the integrated attachment theory program to teach others how to use their breakup the get the breakthroughs they have been looking for.  Resources & Links https://www.myrelationshipfail.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/bryanwpower/ https://www.youtube.com/@myrelationshipfail https://www.instagram.com/myrelationshipfail/   About Lora Lora Cheadle, JD, CHt is a former attorney turned betrayal recovery coach, hypnotherapist, and author who helps women rebuild their identity and reclaim their power after infidelity and profound emotional betrayal.

Any takeaways from this episode?College friends. Annual vacations. Questionable boundaries. And the illusion that everything works better when life is on pause.This week on RomCom Rescue, Kira Sabin and Dr. Isabelle Morley break down Netflix's People We Meet on Vacation, starring Emily Bader and Tom Blyth — a friends-to-lovers story that should work… but maybe doesn't.We talk about:Why “vacation chemistry” is not the same as real-life compatibilityThe outdated question of “Can men and women be friends?”Emotional intimacy, blurry boundaries, and what actually creates problems in relationshipsWhy attraction alone doesn't mean you should build a life togetherAnd the big miss that kept this romance from fully landingFair warning: we liked parts of it… and still had a lot to say.

In this episode of Let's Get Vulnerable, we continue our 3-part series The Parent Wound & Your Attachment Style by exploring how the father wound shapes the way you experience love, intimacy, and self-worth. I'm breaking down how emotional absence, inconsistency, criticism, or unpredictability from a father figure wires your nervous system and becomes the blueprint for the partners you choose, the dynamics you repeat, and what feels “normal” in love. If you've ever found yourself overgiving, avoiding closeness, or feeling unsafe with emotionally available partners, this episode will help you understand why and what actually heals it.Inside the episode:What the father wound is and why it shapes love so deeply, including how approval, protection, and being chosen become core attachment needsHow the father wound shows up in anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment, influencing who you're attracted to and why certain relationships feel familiarWhat it takes to heal the father wound, from grieving what you didn't receive to updating your relationship model and learning to choose emotionally available partnersThis work is about understanding your patterns without shame, reconnecting to your sense of worth, and rewiring what love feels like in your body. You are not broken—your nervous system learned what it needed to survive, and it can learn something new.✨ VIP 1:1 Coaching with Dr. Morgan ✨If this episode resonates and you're ready to stop repeating painful relationship patterns, I do offer a very limited number of VIP one-on-one coaching spots where we go deep into healing attachment wounds and building secure, emotionally healthy relationships. This is for you if you're serious about doing the work at the root level and creating lasting change.

Social media will tell you that anxious-avoidant relationships are doomed. That avoidants are narcissists. That anxious people are just codependent. I'm here to tell you that's oversimplified BS that keeps people stuck.In this episode, I'm breaking down the anxious-avoidant dynamic with the nuance it actually deserves. After healing my own anxious attachment and being in a relationship with someone who's fearful-avoidant and has been actively working in therapy for over three years, I've learned that this isn't about finding a villain - it's about two nervous systems trying to feel safe in completely different ways.We're covering:The protest-withdrawal cycle: what it actually looks like and why it happens4 damaging myths social media spreads about this dynamic (and why they're wrong)What secure attachment would actually do in these moments - not as theory, but as a real, usable frameworkHow to hold both empathy AND boundaries at the same timeThe real questions to ask yourself if you're in this cycle right nowWhy "just stop chasing" and "just communicate better" aren't solutions -they're oversimplificationsThis episode doesn't tell you to leave or stay. It gives you the tools to make that decision from a grounded, informed place. Because you deserve relationships that feel secure, and you're capable of creating that - but only if you're willing to do your own work.Whether you're anxious, avoidant, or watching this pattern play out in your relationship, this one's for you.I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode.

Which types of childhood experiences influence what our adult attachment styles are? Is it possible to change and rewire our attachment styles? If so, where do we even start?  In […] The post Attachment Style and Rewiring It with Dr. Thais Gibson | POP 1330 appeared first on How to Start, Grow, and Scale a Private Practice | Practice of the Practice.

What happens when someone who is working on their attachment style meets with an avoidant attached style person who may not be working on their healing - they set boundaries. How does that work out? Listen to this podcast as Sarah explains the hot and too heavy too soon dynamics of her relationship, setting boundaries and what happened next. I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode.

In the Season 9 premiere, hosts Jill and Anthony welcome relationship coach Bryan Power, who shares a personal story that helped him learn about the impact of attachment styles and how integrated attachment theory works. 

We talk a lot about honesty in open relationships and non-monogamy.Tell the truth. Name the jealousy. Share your feelings.But what happens when you open up and your partner tries to fix it, explain it away, or tells you you shouldn't feel that way?In this episode, Ellecia Paine breaks down why honesty alone doesn't create emotional safety, how emotional invalidation quietly shuts people down in non-monogamous relationships, and what real validation actually looks like. We explore jealousy, insecurity, nervous system safety, and why being corrected instead of received makes it harder to open up over time.If you've ever felt shut down after sharing your feelings, or noticed yourself fixing instead of listening, this episode is for you.

In today's episode, I'm opening up a brand-new series that I felt deeply called to create, Healing the Roots of Attachment. We're starting with the mother wound and how early caregiving experiences shape your attachment style, your nervous system, and the way you show up in romantic relationships. If you've ever noticed yourself spiraling in dating, pulling away when things get close, or repeating painful relationship cycles, this conversation will help you understand why and more importantly, remind you that these patterns are not permanent. This episode is about awareness, compassion, and reconnecting to the part of you that deserves safety, attunement, and secure love.Inside the EpisodeHow the mother wound forms and how emotional attunement, comfort, delight, and repair shape your internal working model of loveThe connection between the mother wound and anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment styles in adult relationshipsWhy self-soothing, self-compassion, and emotional regulation are learned and how these patterns can be rewired through healing and supportThis episode is Part 1 of a 3-part series. In the next episode, we'll explore the Father wound and how it influences attraction, safety, and self-worth. In Part 3, we'll bring it all together with inner child healing and the path to becoming securely attached.

What repels one attachment style can feel normal or even familiar to another. And many of the biggest turn offs in relationships aren't conscious choices, they're subconscious survival patterns. When those patterns go unhealed, they often create codependent dynamics that quietly sabotage connection.

Dating shouldn't feel like an HR interview. We dive straight into how personhood forms through early bonds and how those patterns quietly script who we chase, who we avoid, and why some relationships feel like home while others feel like work. Jack Bohanan, certified Somatic relationship coach, brings a grounded, experiential approach to attachment that moves beyond labels and into lived change—where the body, boundaries, and honest feedback reshape your style of relating.We unpack the classic anxious–avoidant loop in plain language and talk about how to build secure behaviors without turning your identity into a diagnosis. Jack explains why Somatic's client-centered, experiential sessions can feel “more therapeutic than therapy,” including consent-based touch, explicit boundary practice, and practitioner ownership of projections. You'll hear simple but powerful skills—receiving a compliment without deflecting, pausing for regulation, and making small specific requests—that create a new internal map you can carry into love.Then we zoom out to culture. Jack shares a vivid story from Colombia that contrasts U.S. dating with unfiltered feminine expression and examines the current tug-of-war between gender essentialism and neutrality. Biology matters, but it isn't destiny; roles evolve with safety, technology, and independence. The goal isn't to cosplay retro polarity, but to meet as two whole people whose energy fits because both are present and real. Expect honest nuance, practical takeaways, and a humane path toward connection that feels alive and steady at the same time.If this conversation sparks something, tap follow, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review.

Today we're talking about something that a lot of men won't admit, but a lot of women quietly suffer through: living with an anxious husband. And yes, I'm going to make fun of us a little.This video is a tongue-in-cheek “instruction manual” for how to care for the anxious, approval-seeking, reassurance-addicted man. The guy who needs constant validation, panics at every text message pause, reads every word you say like a legal document, and assumes you're leaving him if you're quiet for more than 30 seconds.It's funny… but it's also painfully accurate.The point of this episode isn't to shame anxious guys. It's to shine a big bright spotlight on the behaviors that slowly choke the life out of a relationship. And more importantly, to show that these patterns aren't permanent. You can fix this. You can rebuild your confidence, your identity, and your internal leadership as a man.If this video hits a little close to home, that's good. It means you're ready for change.

In this episode, we explore how your attachment style was formed and why you experience love the way you do. You'll learn what emotional attunement is, how early connection shaped your nervous system, and why your patterns in relationships aren't who you are—they're adaptations.

Discover The Shadow Secretly Running Your Life: https://quiz.lucassalame.com/Schedule Your 1:1 Session with Lucas: https://www.lucassalame.com/session———————In this episode, I'm joined by Fabiola Zirino for a deeply honest conversation about avoidant attachment, emotional intimacy, and the fear of being truly seen in love. Together, we explore how early conditioning, religious shame, and family dynamics shape our relationship patterns and why so many people long for deep connection while unconsciously pushing it away.This conversation unpacks what it really means to heal avoidant attachment, not by fixing yourself, but by learning to stay present with your humanity. We explore why intimacy requires the courage to be seen in your mess, how self acceptance opens the door to real connection, and why love cannot meet you where you are hiding.———————Please like, comment, and subscribe if anything resonated with you.

This conversation is about slowing down, telling the truth with compassion, and using this moment in time to intentionally choose a different way forward.Inside the EpisodeHow anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment styles may have influenced your relationships, decisions, and emotional regulation in 2025Why insecure attachment often leads to self-abandonment, burnout, overwhelm, or emotional distancing, even outside of romantic relationshipsWhy awareness alone isn't enough to create change, and what actually allows deep healing and secure attachment to formReady to Carry These Lessons Into a New Year?If this reflection brought clarity, or even discomfort, I want you to know that you don't have to do this work alone.Applications are currently open for my Empowered.Secure.Loved.™ Relationship Program, and we are closing applications for the year very soon. ✨ Secure December: Farewell Sale For a limited time this December, the **Empowered.Secure.Loved.™ Program is available at 70% OFF — the deepest discount we offer.Inside the program, you'll receive:Weekly live group coaching with meOne-on-one coaching supportA proven, no-fluff framework to heal attachment wounds, regulate your nervous system, and embody secure loveIf you're ready to stop repeating the same patterns…If you want 2026 to feel calmer, clearer, and more aligned…If you're ready to become securely attached from the inside out —

Are you waiting for your spouse to finally "get it"? Whether it's their communication style, a habit that hurts the family dynamic, or an emotional wall they've built, the pain of wanting your partner to change—and being met with resistance—is one of the loneliest experiences in a marriage.In this deep-dive episode of Married and Connected, we move past the cliché advice of "just talk to them" and look at the hard science and psychology of change. We explore why your partner is neurologically wired to resist pressure, how to move from anxious pursuit to secure influence, and the life-changing power of emotional sobriety. If you feel like you're negotiating with potential instead of living in reality, this episode is your roadmap back to yourself.What You'll Learn in This Episode:The Change Paradox: Why wanting change isn't wrong, but why "forcing" it triggers the psychological phenomenon of Reactance.Attachment Styles & Conflict: How secure, anxious, and avoidant attachment styles dictate how we ask for change—and why some methods are doomed to fail.The Neurobiology of Resistance: Understanding the "ego defense" and why your partner's brain perceives your requests as a threat to their identity.Emotional Sobriety: A deep dive into Dr. Andrea Vitz's framework—learning to regulate your own internal state without using your partner's behavior as a "drug."Control vs. Influence: Practical ways to set boundaries without ultimatums and stop the cycle of self-abandonment.The Hard Truths: How to distinguish between "hope" and "negotiating with potential," and how to know when waiting has become self-betrayal.Featured Research & Frameworks:Dr. Alexandra Solomon: On the importance of relational self-awareness and focusing on the "Self" within the "Us."Dr. Andrea Vitz: On the principles of Emotional Sobriety and taking 100% responsibility for your own emotional peace.The Gottman Institute: Research regarding "Positive Sentiment Override" and how safety is a prerequisite for behavioral change.Attachment Theory: How childhood survival strategies (avoidance/anxiety) manifest as resistance in adult marriage.Resources Mentioned:Loving Bravely by Dr. Alexandra SolomonThe You You've Never Met by Dr. Andrea Vitzwww.recognizingpotential.comConnect with Us:Instagram: @married.and.connectedSubscribe & Review: If this episode resonated with you, please leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!Keywords: Marriage advice, relationship change, how to get my husband to change, attachment theory in marriage, emotional sobriety, Dr. Andrea Vitz, Dr. Alexandra Solomon, secure attachment, marriage boundaries, marital conflict, avoidant partner, anxious attachment style.Support the show

In this episode, Thais Gibson and co-host Mike DiZio walk through what to realistically expect when you first move in with a Dismissive Avoidant, why certain behaviors show up, and how to navigate this transition without taking things personally or creating unnecessary conflict. If you're considering moving in with a Dismissive Avoidant, or already have, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and practical strategies. Living together often fast-tracks couples into the power struggle stage of relationships, and Dismissive Avoidants can feel especially activated by this shift. In this episode, you'll learn why Dismissive Avoidants may retreat, equate comfort with love, struggle with compromise, and fear expectations, even when they deeply care about their partner. Thais and Mike explore: ✅ Why Dismissive Avoidants need space to regulate emotionally ✅ How fear of being trapped can show up after moving in ✅ Why conflict feels especially threatening in their home environment ✅ How unconscious habits from hyper-independence impact cohabitation ✅ What conversations must happen in advance to prevent resentment Most importantly, this episode emphasizes that these patterns are understandable, workable, and not signs that the relationship is doomed, especially when both partners are willing to communicate and do the healing work. Key Takeaways ✅ Dismissive Avoidants often retreat into personal space to self-regulate after moving in ✅ Comfort and routine may be interpreted as love, leading to unintentional complacency ✅ Fear of expectations can cause emotional withdrawal, not loss of care ✅ Avoiding conflict temporarily increases long-term tension ✅ Compromise and shared habits must be consciously built, not assumed ✅ Clear conversations before moving in reduce fear, shutdown, and resentment Timestamps 00:00 – Introduction 03:17 – 1.

Today my guest is Mabel who worked with me to overcome her avoidant attachment style. Her goal was to clean up her relationship with her daughter. Her daughter is highly emotional and was prone to have full shutdowns when she got frustrated doing things like piano practice or homework. Mabel was triggered by her daughters emotions and was either yelling or taking space to avoid them as much as possible. Mabel is now showing up as a secure mom and her daughter is surprising her with very secure communication.Mabel was able to create secure attachment quickly so I wanted to make sure to have her on the podcast to share her secrets to success. Tune in to hear her how she was able to hey past her avoidance quickly and what she would say to someone who is scared to take the next step towards secure attachment.

Relationships aren't just about chemistry or communication — they're shaped by the attachment style running the show behind-the-scenes. This week, JVN sits down with author, educator, and founder of The Personal Development School, Thais Gibson, to break down the four core attachment styles and how they shape the way we love, communicate, and connect. If you're trying to make sense of the way you are in any relationship, this episode gives you the roadmap to understand yourself more deeply and build the connections you actually want. From early childhood patterns to the subconscious programs we carry into adulthood, Thais explains how our nervous system learns to stay safe — and how we can recondition it to build healthier, more secure bonds. They're digging into the traits of secure, anxious, dismissive, and fearful-avoidant attachment, how to identify your style, and how each one impacts intimacy, conflict, boundaries, and communication. Thais also shares the five pillars for transforming your relationships, practical tools for rewiring old habits, and why positive framing at work can shift your entire dynamic.  Full Getting Better Video Episodes now available on YouTube.  Follow Thais Gibson on Instagram @thepersonaldevelopmentschool Follow Getting Better on Instagram @gettingbetterwithjvn  Follow Jonathan on Instagram @jvn Check out the JVN Patreon for exclusive BTS content, extra interviews, and much much more - check it out here: www.patreon.com/jvn  Senior Producer, Chris McClure Producer, Editor & Engineer is Nathanael McClure Production support: Chad Hall Our theme music is also composed by Nathanael McClure.

If you've ever wondered what real secure attachment feels like, not the Instagram version, not the watered-down definition, but the lived, embodied, grounded experience, this episode is for you. In this final installment of the Attachment Style SOS Series, I'm walking you through what secure attachment looks like in your nervous system, your identity, your dating life, and your relationships. My hope is that this episode helps you finally understand what you're building toward and reminds you that becoming secure is your birthright.Inside the episode, we cover:What secure attachment actually feels like in your body — the calm, presence, self-trust, and openness that come from a regulated nervous system.The identity of a secure person — clear boundaries, emotional maturity, interdependence, and the ability to stay anchored in yourself.How secure attachment shows up in dating and relationships — slow-build connection, healthy conflict, choosing availability, and leaving chaos behind.If you've been listening to this series thinking, “This is what I want for myself… but I don't know how to get there,” I want you to know this:➡️ You can become securely attached.➡️ You can rewire your brain.➡️ You can return home to the version of you who trusts, loves, and receives love.And if you're ready for real support…This is the FINAL call to apply to the Empowered.Secure.Loved Program.The program has helped over a thousand people become securely attached and if your heart has been whispering “I'm meant for this,” this is your sign.

In today's solo episode, I dive deep into something that's been heavy on my heart lately — especially as a new mama — and that is breaking generational curses. I'm talking about how to identify the patterns in your family that may be unhealthy, unbiblical, or downright toxic — and how to STOP them from continuing in your life, your marriage, and your kids' lives. I share tons of biblical encouragement, examples from my own journey, what I've learned through therapy and inner healing, and how you can partner with God to be the change in your family tree. Even if this episode feels a little heavy, I promise — it's packed with hope, grace, and practical steps you can take TODAY.

Friendship is one of the topics we get asked about most, so we brought back Dr. Marisa Franco, one of the world's leading voices on human connection. We dive straight into the heart of modern friendship and start with something that influences every relationship we have: attachment styles. Marisa explains how these patterns begin in childhood, how they show up differently in adulthood, and why none of us fit neatly into one category. We explore one of the biggest questions we hear from listeners: if you tend to be anxious or avoidant, do you end up attracting friends with the same tendencies? Marisa shares one of her biggest challenges in her research—secure people continue to find each other easily, while those who struggle with connection often repeat the same patterns with similar types of friends.Since many of you are new moms or navigating school-aged seasons, we ask Marisa what to do when a friend needs more from you than you can realistically give. She reminds us that it's okay to say no and that saying no with kindness helps preserve the relationship.Although friendship looks natural from the outside, we share honestly that it hasn't always been effortless for us either. Amy opens up about how isolating early motherhood felt and why making new friends during that time was unexpectedly hard. If you're in a season where friendship feels like it has to fall to the bottom of the list, Marisa offers a powerful reminder of why connection still matters—and what small steps can help bring it back to the forefront.Finally, we talk about the hardest part of friendship: knowing when it's time to end one. Should you let the relationship fade or have a more direct conversation? Marisa shares how to discern which path is right, and she gives guidance on something we rarely talk about—grieving a friendship.LINKS AND RESOURCES:Listen to HERself episode #145 Dr. Marisa Franco on the Importance of Adult Friendship; https://www.herselfpodcast.com/listen/adultfriendshipRead Dr. Marisa Franco's Book; Platonic: https://amzlink.to/az0lb2DLKWeWk Follow Marisa on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmarisagfranco/Dr. Marisa's Website: https://drmarisagfranco.com/HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcastLMNT: Free Sample Pack with purchase:  drinkLMNT.com/HERSELFLet's connect!HERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreenThis episode was brought to you by the Pivot Ball Change Network.
