My guest this week is psychiatrist Dr. Adam Meadows, author of the recent book, A Prescription for Living with Purpose: Maintaining Hope, Healing, & Connection as You Create the Life You Were Destined to Live (affiliate link). It was great to catch up with Adam and hear his passion for changing lives, including his own. I’ve known Adam for about 10 years, and I've enjoyed seeing the direction he’s pursued since leaving Penn, where we met. In this episode we talked about faith, trust, the importance of daily habits, and how to tell the divine voice of intuition from the voice of self or ego. We also discussed: What inspired Adam to write A Prescription for Living with Purpose Understanding who we are and what we are called to do The personal crisis Adam experienced on a cruise Going below the surface to understand the true state of our lives Looking for an external fix to an internal problem The disciplines Adam developed through his crisis Discovering anchoring habits and what makes us come alive The value in a morning routine for setting the tone for your day Priming your energy in a healthy direction The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod (affiliate link) Finding “leverage points” in our day to direct our course most effectively The non-linear evolution of Adam’s spirituality Recognizing spiritual “coincidences” or “divine synchronicities” The shift in how both Adam and I think about God Four healthy human practices: love, nonjudgment, noninterference, and acceptance Letting go and trusting that there is something bigger than us The many ways we can practice mindful presence and awareness Why it’s important to remember that we’re not alone Adam Meadows, MD, is a board-certified psychiatrist working at Skyland Trail, a psychiatric treatment center in Atlanta. His clinical interests include mood disorders, adult ADHD, and mental health concerns affecting college and graduate students. Adam previously served as the medical director of psychiatry and behavioral health for WellStar Health System. He graduated summa cum laude from Andrews University, and got his MD from Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine. He completed his psychiatry residence at the University of Pennsylvania, where I was on the faculty at the time, and he served as chief resident in his final year. In recent years, Adam has pursued opportunities related to leadership development and public speaking. As you’ll hear, he’s passionate about making a positive impact in people’s lives, and is committed to efforts to improve social dialogue and reduce stigma around mental health issues.

Each of us has a predominant way of connecting with others, which relationship scientists call our attachment style. It's exactly what it sounds like—our habitual way of relating to people. Some of us seem to have an easy time in relationships, enjoying connecting to the people around us, while others are wary of getting too close, even to romantic partners. Still others have a hard time feeling secure in their relationships, always craving a closer connection and worrying that they'll be abandoned. Maybe you identify with one of these patterns. In my conversation this week with psychiatrist Dr. Ben Hunter, we discuss the different attachment styles and where they come from. Attachment is a pretty simple idea but it has powerful implications for understanding our relationships, from our very earliest with our mothers and fathers, through dating and committed relationships, as well as other kinds of connections. Ben and I discuss many issues related to attachment, including: The original research that revealed attachment style The contribution of nature and nurture The consistency in attachment from childhood through adulthood Interactions between attachment styles The possibility of changing attachment style The intersection of attachment style and social media Attachment style in psychotherapy I always enjoy thinking about attachment because it can open our eyes to patterns in the ways we relate to others that we might easily miss, because we're so used to them. For example, we might notice that we instinctively withdraw from relationships that feel too close, and perhaps recognize experiences from our early life that explain our current reactions. By learning to recognize these kinds of patterns, we can start to make more deliberate choices about how we connect to those around us. I hope you enjoy our conversation. Dr. Ben Hunter is the Medical Director of Outpatient Services at Skyland Trail, a residential treatment center in Atlanta, GA. He was an All-American pitcher on Wake Forest University’s baseball team, and was selected in the Major League Baseball draft but ultimately decided he was called to medicine. Ben completed his medical training at Emory University followed by a psychiatric residency at Penn, which is where I met him when I was his cognitive behavioral therapy supervisor for a year. He was named chief resident during his final year. Ben's work has been recognized with the University of Pennsylvania’s Laughlin Foundation Award for outstanding professional achievement as well as the Kenneth D. Cohen Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Award. Find Ben on Instagram at benhuntermd and on the web at Skyland Trail; the admissions number is 866-504-4966.
