This is the one Jacqui has been very much looking forward to discussing – and it’s a biggie: attachment styles. Yip, our relationship in those very early years with our primary caregiver does go on to impacts us as adults – not just in our romantic relationships, but in all facets of our lives, from friendships to the workplace. Gaining an understanding of how your early relationship with your primary caregiver has informed your interactions as an adult can be incredibly powerful. It can also be very challenging work, so this episode of What Matters Most is sure to bring up a lot of feelings. Be warned! If you want to do what Antonia did and take a quiz to find out which attachment style you are (it’s optional to do what Antonia did and encourage all your friends/family to do it for an interesting chat around the dinner table!!) then head to The Attachment Project and take the Attachment Style Quiz. And, if this episode – understandably! – brought up a lot of emotions for you, exploring your early childhood, Antonia recommended you take a listen (if you haven’t already) to an earlier episode of What Matters Most. Episode III: Inner Child, also explores the idea that the experiences we have as a young child really impact how we operate as an adult. There’s also advice on how you can get in touch with your inner child and understand them a bit more.
