TOPIC & GUEST This week we’re discussing Creating Safe and Secure Connections with Relationship Expert Julie Menanno PAIN POINT We are all born with a need to connect and form bonds. We want secure relationships that are full of deep trust, safety, comfort, and confidence. But often, our relationships are not what we imagined they would be. Enter: Attachment theory. It refers to the emotional bond between people—and how we give and receive love, beginning at infancy. Our attachment style informs the formation of all our relationships. So how can we use attachment theory in our favor, to deepen our bonds with those we love most? GUEST BIO Julie Menanno is a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples. She also provides insight and advice for couples at @TheSecureRelationship on Instagram, with over one million followers.
