Attachment styles are our emotional blueprint, formed in our childhood, for the way we give and receive love, and for our ability to feel safe and emotionally close to others. There are four attachment styles: secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized. Each of these attachment styles is very clearly explained by Dr. Marnee Firestone, a licensed psychologist in Boca Raton, Florida.1. Secure Attachment--this is the most healthy and balanced attachment style. The person is emotionally available for intimacy, as well as independence, without feeling fearful or guilty. They tend to be calm and well balanced. A person with secure attachment most likely received consistent love, validation and nurturing as a child.2. Anxious attachment--someone with this attachment style has a deep fear of abandonment. They seek constant love and reassurance. They can be overly smothering. They panic easily and they feel overly responsible for everyone and everything. They feel a personal sense of failure if their child is struggling, and tend to micromanage their children. A person with anxious attachment style was most likely given inconsistent love and care. Their emotional needs were sometimes tended to, and other times rejected or dismissed.3.Avoidant attachment--someone with avoidant attachment seeks to escape conflicts or arguments in the relationship. They are scared to show emotion or affection because they are scared of being rejected or neglected. They tend to withdraw from both intimacy and arguments for fear of not being accepted by their spouse. A person with avoidant attachment most likely did not have their emotional needs met. 4. Disorganized attachment--someone with disorganized attachment has a push/pull dynamic. They intensely crave closeness, but once someone gets close, they immediately push them away because real intimacy is scary for them. They are highly emotional, have a heightened fear of abandonment, and they are reactive. They have difficulty self-soothing, and they tend to attract chaos in relationships. Disorganized attachment develops as the result of trauma in childhood.Dr. Marnee explains how each of these attachment styles shows up in marriage and parenting. You can change your attachment style by becoming aware of what your attachment style is, and working to emotionally regulate yourself so that you can think clearly and respond appropriately to the people and situations in your life.If you would like Dr. Marnee's free e-book on 4 Tips To Reduce Anxiety in Your Teen, please email me at: atrebbetzins@gmail.com For families interested in Dr. Marnee's program, it is called Break the Anxiety Cycle. https://breakanxietycycle.com/ Dr. Marnee Firestone & Tamar Oppenheimer, LCSW, help parents of anxious teens by teaching them effective and practical strategies that are proven to support teens in building confidence, empowering them to pursue their goals, and ultimately bringing a sense of calm to stressed households. As we approach summer, many parents of anxious teens are searching for ways to reset and prepare their families for a better school year ahead. Break the Anxiety Cycle is a structured, parent-based program created to help families disrupt the patterns that unintentionally reinforce anxiety. Rather than placing the full burden on the teen, this program empowers parents with tools to create real change at home—reducing reactivity, rebuilding connection, and promoting resilience.Vera Kessler (host of America's Top Rebbetzins) is a certified life coach.

In love addiction, we may find ourselves feeling betrayed by a partner-- even if we don't know for sure that something is going on--while doubting our instincts, believing we're too sensitive, and giving an emotionally unavailable partner the benefit of the doubt. This feeling adds to our anxiety, and whatever information a partner is withholding adds to the dysfunction of the relationship...and we stay in the cycle of love addiction hoping things will change. In this episode Jodi talks with betrayal trauma therapist, Lindsay Haverslew, about the reality of betrayal trauma. Jodi and Lindsay share personal experiences with betrayal, and discuss signs that a partner is emotionally unavailable, tips for identifying a trustworthy person, and much more.  Show notes and resources: Music by JD Pendley Link to Jodi's website and additional resources Lindsay's website and instagram Lindsay mentioned the work of Jennifer Freyd and Dr. Kevin Skinner and the book Unleashing Your Power  Disclaimer: This podcast is shared for educational and informational purposes only.

As we continue our exploration of Matthew 6:25-34, we're challenged to confront our deepest worries and anxieties. Jesus' teachings on worry aren't naive platitudes, but nuanced truths that speak to the core of our human experience. We're reminded that our value exceeds our basic needs - we are more than what we eat, drink, or wear. By looking at the birds of the air and the flowers of the field, we're encouraged to trust in God's provision and care. This message pushes us to examine where we place our security and hope. Are we building our lives on worry, or on trust in God's kingdom? The call to 'seek first His kingdom and His righteousness' invites us to shift our focus from earthly concerns to eternal priorities. As we grapple with our tendency to worry, we're challenged to embrace a life of daily surrender, courageous generosity, and present-moment living. This teaching isn't about ignoring real-life challenges, but about finding a deeper trust in God that can transform our approach to life's uncertainties.

Do you have a partner or friend that exhibits some of the signs of an avoidant attachment style?And do you find your own anxiety being triggered by their behaviour - resulting in a push-pull cycle - where both people feel frustrated and disconnected?You're certainly not alone with this.And in today's episode, I'm teaching you how to manage your OWN mind and create a secure response to avoidant behaviour.So that you can feel calm and grounded, regardless of what's going on for them - and actually create more connection.Mentioned in this episode:SIGN UP TO THE 5 DAY CHALLENGEProcessing emotions meditationSelf Esteem Building KitEmail me about 1:1 coaching - rebecca@rebeccaorecoaching.com

Send us a textStruggling to master personality disorders for your upcoming licensure exam? Look no further than this deep dive into Dependent Personality Disorder (DPD) – a condition you might encounter on test day.We meticulously break down the DSM diagnostic criteria, requiring at least five symptoms from a pattern that includes difficulty making everyday decisions, needing others to assume responsibility for major life areas, and fears of being left to care for oneself. You'll learn to recognize the classic clinical presentation: clients who consistently defer to others, express intense abandonment fears, and often tolerate mistreatment rather than risk being alone. Most importantly, we clarify how to differentiate DPD from its common look-alikes like Borderline, Avoidant, and Histrionic Personality Disorders –  distinctions that frequently appear as exam questions.The episode explores DPD's developmental trajectory, typically rooted in childhood experiences with overprotective or authoritarian parenting that restricted age-appropriate autonomy. We examine how cultural factors influence diagnosis and discuss common comorbidities including anxiety disorders, depression, and substance use. The second half provides a comprehensive review of evidence-based treatments, from cognitive-behavioral approaches that challenge core beliefs about helplessness to schema therapy addressing early maladaptive patterns. You'll learn specific interventions like gradual exposure to independent decision-making, assertiveness training, and anxiety management techniques.Whether you're preparing for your exam or working with dependent clients in clinical practice, this episode delivers everything you need to understand this complex condition.

Jess shares an inspiring story of synchronicity that sparks a deep dive into how people—especially women—can unknowingly leak financial potential due to insecure attachment styles. She reflects on how our past experiences, wisdom, and accumulated knowledge are often undervalued or discarded, leading to scarcity patterns and survival-mode living.Using a relatable example of a fashion journalist friend, Jess maps out how even someone with a rich professional background might find themselves financially stuck—not because they lack value, but because they're not recognizing or monetizing it.She breaks down a model of creating a high-value membership offering and uses simple math to show how it could result in multi-million-pound futures. But beyond the numbers, she brings the focus back to inner healing: the importance of cultivating secure attachment, trusting your worth, and learning to hold abundance without fear or leakage.Key TakeawaysYour past holds financial gold. Every experience, skill, and relationship you've built is valuable and potentially monetizable.Secure attachment supports financial clarity. When you're grounded in your worth, you can plan wisely for the future and build income streams aligned with your value.Scarcity often comes from wounding. Avoidant or anxious attachment patterns can block abundance by creating subconscious resistance to holding or receiving money.Build with intention. Something like a small membership community (e.g. 250 people paying £297/month) can create over £900K/year, which, wisely invested, sets up generational wealth.Your pension starts now. Think beyond work. What do you need to feel supported later in life? Design for that today.Self-worth is the foundation. Healing is essential. Until you feel worthy of holding and receiving, no strategy will feel sustainable.Quotes from Jess“All along the way, you've been investing in yourself. But have you just thrown that all away?”“A secure attachment style helps you hold. Money. Love. Safety. Legacy.”“What's leaking is your gold. But it can be reclaimed.”

Can water hold memory, respond to your thoughts, and support healing? In this episode of The Healing & Human Potential Podcast, we explore the hidden intelligence of water—and what it means for your health, emotions, and connection to life. You'll hear how water responds to intention, sound, and words by forming stunning crystallized images. We talk about how it can reflect what's happening in your body, store past trauma, and even act as a mirror for the divine.  Our guest is Veda Austin, a water researcher and author whose healing journey began after a near-fatal car crash. She shares how water helped her recover, what she's discovered through years of crystallography, and how she developed her freezing method. Veda also talks about “hydro glyphs”—symbols water forms in response to specific words—and her work with the non-speaking autistic children from The Telepathy Tapes who describe these images as doorways to healing. If you're ready to see water in a whole new way, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.   ===   Have you watched our previous episode titled Anxious or Avoidant?

In this episode of Hack Your Own PR, we're joined by Melissa Reader, CEO of Violet, whose journey from profound personal loss to leading social change is nothing short of inspiring. Through Violet, Melissa is helping us all navigate life's final chapters with grace, humanity, and proactive planning. Over the past year, Melissa's voice has been everywhere, from AFR, The Australian and ABC to SmartCompany, Mamamia, and Women's Agenda. Her work is not just about practical end-of-life planning but about igniting broader social conversations on ageing, living well, and preparing for what lies ahead. Melissa shares how learning to DIY her PR, including her experience with Authority Brand and Meet The Media, and working with Hack Your Own PR host Odette Barry as a mentor, has amplified her message and driven real impact. We dive into the strategies behind her media wins, her approach to thought leadership, and why being proactive—whether for your media presence or your life—is a game-changer. In this episode, Melissa shares: The importance of proactive planning: Whether it's for end-of-life care or PR strategy, preparing early can prevent stress and ensure clarity. How to DIY your PR effectively: Melissa explains why founders and social change leaders should learn the PR ropes themselves before outsourcing. Why testing and iterating is critical: She reveals how experimenting with messaging and being open to feedback helped her find a narrative that resonated widely. Key Lessons: Plan ahead: Like preparing a birth plan, planning for life's final chapters or your PR strategy can make all the difference. Stay authentic in PR: Don't fully outsource your voice. Keeping close to your messaging ensures it remains true to your mission. Embrace feedback: Testing your messaging and refining it based on responses can lead to stronger, more effective communication. Melissa Reader suggests avoiding: Vanity metrics in PR: Instead of chasing meaningless numbers, focus on measurable, tangible results. Avoidant language around death: Using direct and honest language helps normalise important conversations. Over-extending yourself as a change maker: Self-care and setting boundaries are essential to avoid burnout. With her thoughtful approach to both social change and PR, Melissa Reader offers invaluable insights for changemakers, social entrepreneurs, and anyone looking to build a meaningful media presence.

The avoidant craves you when you're distant but loses interest when you're available. Hot/cold. Push/pull. It will remain the same… until you do this: #DismissiveAvoidant #HotandCold The avoidant's attraction is fueled by longing, not love. It's easy to hope your absence has sparked their desire. But once you're back in their arms, their fear of engulfment triggers them to pull away. This cycle keeps them uncommitted, always seeking greener grass while leaving you questioning if the connection was ever real.

It's the dead of winter and we're all in “hamper girl mode.” Jordana and Jared shake off the cold by jumping into some heated dating questions. Can a person have too many ongoing chats on a dating app? How do I know if breaking up was the right decision? And TikTok has spoken: Ghosting is out and “avoidant discarding” is in. J&J discuss this new dating term and how it's even worse than just leaving someone on read. Later, a listener meets his Reese Witherspoon-esque dream girl. The catch? She lives in a completely different city. J&J give him pointers on how to set up a second date without scaring her off. The “Awkward Encounter”, a typically smooth bartender dreads a looming speed dating event he signed up for. J&J coach him on how to make a great first impression. Then we play “Red Flag, Deal Breaker?,” about a post-sex breakup comment, missing ice cube trays and a date who is only looking for one thing. Have a dating question for Jordana and Jared?
