Our individual attachment style influences how we react when we experience separation, threat, or pressure in a relationship. This can look like being perfectly fine to being clingy, impulsive, to overwhelmed or pushing others away.  Opening a relationship or becoming polyamorous can activate our primary (or default/dominant) attachment style and patterns, especially if they are one of the 3 insecure styles. In this episode we explore attachment theory in the context of consensual non-monogamous relationships and discuss: The four main attachment styles and their origins How our attachment influenced us first as children and then in our adult relationships. How these styles may manifest differently in multiple relationships. And recommendations on how to move towards learned secure attachment.
