Do you find yourself being "too clingy" in relationships? Or maybe you're with someone who shuts down emotionally? You're not broken – you just have an attachment style.

In this eye-opening conversation with certified attachment practitioner Bev Middleman, discover why your relationships keep following the same exhausting patterns and how to finally break free.

What you'll learn:

• Why anxious people don't trust themselves but trust everyone else
• How avoidant partners learned that emotional connection equals danger
• The "hot and cold" fearful-avoidant pattern that creates the most relationship chaos
• Why half of North Americans struggle with attachment issues (and don't even know it)

Bev reveals the childhood experiences that create each attachment style and shares practical strategies for healing. Whether you're the one constantly seeking reassurance or you're frustrated with a partner who won't open up, this episode explains the "why" behind these patterns.

The breakthrough moment: Learning that attachment styles aren't permanent. As Bev says, "Love is learned. We learn how to love ourselves, we learn how to love others" – at any age.

If you've ever felt like you're repeating the same relationship mistakes, struggling with vulnerability, or walking on eggshells around emotions, this conversation offers hope and a clear path forward.
