About this Episode Is achieving a secure attachment really the ultimate marker of relationship success or could this mindset be doing more harm than good? In the quest for intimacy and connection, many of us fall into the trap of labeling ourselves and our partners, clinging to the idea that “secure” is the only way to be. But what happens when relationships don't fit neatly into these categories, or when past experiences have shaped us in ways that make security seem out of reach? The pressure to be “securely attached” can sometimes backfire, leading to shame, blame, and a sense of hopelessness. In this episode, you'll discover why secure attachment doesn't have to be the ultimate destination, and why striving for secure functioning—those daily choices and mindful practices that build safety and trust—can be a far more compassionate and realistic goal. Drawing on insights from trauma work, attachment research, and couples therapy, this conversation unpacks the pitfalls of categorizing relationships as “good” or “bad,” explores the nuances of healing within partnership, and offers actionable ways to build resilience, understanding, and growth—no matter where you are on the attachment spectrum. Hanna Basel is a seasoned couples therapist and certified sex therapist. With expertise in attachment, trauma, and emotionally focused therapy (EFT), she helps people untangle their most complicated relationship patterns. As a former addictions counselor, Hanna brings both clinical expertise and lived experience to her work. She has been featured on CNN, Kare 11, MSN, and numerous podcasts where she talked about her ultimate and simple goal: to help people build relationships that help us heal and thrive. Check out the transcript of this episode on Dr. Jessica Higgin's website.

Many Christians share Jesus' big heart for others and desire to love people like him. But all of us can fall prey to caring for others in a way that's fueled by our own unrecognized needs or wounds. Even good intentions can drain our souls and leave us feeling resentful towards ministry and people. Tune in for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi talk about the tension between loving sacrifice and codependency. You'll learn how to search your own soul with Jesus and cultivate an emotionally healthy attachment to Abba so you can discern who to serve and how to partner with God for greater fruitfulness.Resources for this Episode:Attend a Soul Shepherding RetreatMeet with a Soul Shepherding Spiritual DirectorDonate to Support Soul Shepherding and Soul Talks

We all struggle to love ourselves sometimes. Even when we truly desire to be kind to ourselves, to feel our worth, and to see ourselves through loving eyes … something inside of us resists, or pulls away, or shuts down. In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, we'll explore the deeper reasons why we experience blocks to self-love. You'll be gently guided through a Somatic Meditation to Heal Your Blocks to Self-Love using Regenerating Images in Memory (RIM®). This practice invites you to connect with the parts of you that may be holding fear, pain, or resistance - and to meet them with warmth, curiosity, and compassionate attention. Together, we'll create space for those parts to soften, so that self-love can begin to feel safer and more possible. If self-love has felt distant or unreachable, this episode offers a quiet turning point. A space to breathe, to reconnect with yourself, and to take one soft step closer to the love that's already waiting within you.

Una Archer joins me for a thoughtful conversation about how to help children feel safe, secure, and resilient in the face of their parents' separation or divorce.   Together we explore:   Why there's no one-size-fits-all approach to separation, even among siblings, and why tuning into each child's unique needs matters. What the Circle of Security framework is and how it can be used to support children's attachment during major family transitions. The three core emotional needs that children rely on to feel secure, and how parents can meet these needs in everyday moments (check the show notes for a helpful visual!). How to separate your own trauma and fears from your child's experience so you can truly see and respond to them without projection. Why allowing more time and slowness during transitions isn't a setback, but an important part of healing and connection. The power of rupture and repair in relationships and practical ways parents can engage in repair after conflict or misunderstanding. How different family structures after separation—sometimes two distinct family systems—can be healthy depending on what your family needs. Navigating the challenges of co-parenting, including managing handoffs and stepping back when it's not your parenting time.   If you're looking for compassionate, practical guidance on fostering secure attachment for your children through big changes, this conversation is full of insights and tools you won't want to miss!     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:   https://www.helpyourchildthrive.co.uk/ The Separated Parent's Guide to Attachment: 3 Steps Towards Emotional Security      ADDITIONAL REFERENCES AND RESOURCES:

We explore the four key attributes caregivers need to foster secure attachment: being present, attentive, attuned, and responsive.• A secure attachment relationship is defined as one that's "free from danger or risk," creating a healthy and safe space for children• Secure attachment forms when caregivers consistently respond to a child's needs, showing them they are important and valued• Children with secure attachment develop a "secure base" that allows them to explore the world confidently, knowing they have a safe place to return to• Crying at daycare drop-offs can actually indicate healthy attachment – the child wants to be with you and knows you'll return• Being physically and emotionally present is the foundation for all other aspects of secure caregiving• Attentiveness means paying close attention to what your child is doing and learning from their behaviors• Attunement is the ability to accurately read and interpret your child's signals beyond surface behaviors• Responsive caregiving teaches children that they matter and that seeking help is valuable• Play accelerates attachment building – according to Dr. Karyn Purvis, it can cut healing time in half for children from difficult backgrounds• Securely attached children develop powerful internal messages: "I am important," "Others are helpful," and "The world is safe"Join us next week as we discuss avoidant attachment and continue our exploration of attachment styles.Contact:podcasts@calfarley.org To Donate: https://secure.calfarley.org/site/Donation2?3358.donation=form1&df_id=3358&mfc_pref=TTo Apply:https://apply.workable.com/cal-farleys-boys-ranch/j/25E1226091/For More Information about Cal Farley's Boys Ranch:https://www.calfarley.org/Music:"Shine" -NewsboysCCS License No. 9402

This episode originally aired in April 2024 and quickly became one of the most popular episodes of The Journey. Whether you're tuning in for the first time or revisiting this conversation, this episode will get you thinking about healing in a toxic culture.   In this episode, Morgan DeBaun sits down with renowned physician, author, and trauma expert, Dr. Gabor Maté, for a thought-provoking conversation about childhood trauma and attachment, the impact of societal norms on parenting, and the healing potential of psychedelics.   In this episode: 00:00 Introduction and Guest Overview 01:30 Dr. Gabor Maté's Early Life and Trauma 04:08 Impact of Early Trauma on Adult Behavior 04:56 The Struggles of a Medical Professional 08:22 Parenting Challenges in Modern Society 13:21 The Importance of Attachment in Child Development 21:30 Balancing Entrepreneurship and Parenting 24:03 Building Strong Parent-Child Relationships 24:38 The Impact of Technology on Children 25:36 Balancing Work and Parenting 28:51 The Importance of Secure Attachment 29:49 Understanding Individuation and Socialization 36:40 The Role of Psychedelics in Healing 45:16 Resources and Final Thoughts   Dr. Maté opens up about his own childhood experiences as a Jewish infant in occupied Hungary, where abandonment and trauma shaped his early years and later influenced his relationships with his children and career. Through personal reflection, Morgan shares her own experiences of growing up with a father whose demanding career kept him often away, and her tendency towards workaholism. She shares how she intends to do things differently with her own child.   As the discussion unfolds, Dr. Maté dives into his belief that we are living in a toxic culture, where stress and societal pressures take a toll on our mental and physical health. He highlights the direct link between our minds and bodies, particularly evident in marginalized groups facing systemic racism. Dr. Maté and Morgan discuss how it is in this context that parents are expected to raise children, and how cultural parenting norms often contradict intuitive caregiving practices, driven by economic necessities rather than emotional well-being.   The episode wraps up with an eye-opening discussion on the potential of psychedelics in healing trauma, with Dr. Maté sharing the emerging research and the need for better access to these powerful tools in mental health care.   To learn more about Dr. Gabor Maté's work discussed in this episode, check out his books The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness & Healing In A Toxic Culture and Hold On to Your Kids: Why Parents Need To Matter More Than Peers.   Tune in to this insightful episode, and make sure to leave a rating and review to show your support for these incredibly powerful conversations being had week after week!   More from Dr. Gabor Maté: https://drgabormate.com/ https://www.instagram.com/gabormatemd?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==   Order Rewrite Your Rules: https://www.amazon.com/Rewrite-Your-Rules-Achieve-Freedom/dp/0593725050   Join the Newsletter for More Exclusive Content: https://worksmartprogram.ac-page.com/thejourneypodcast Make sure you are following Morgan's journey on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@morgandebaun?_ Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/thejourneybymdb Produced by MicMoguls.
