  • WPC Ep.13 Taking Ownership of Our Attachment Styles to Improve Communication and Connection
    Aug 14 2025

    With Traci Zajdel and Dr. Aurélia Bickler

    Healthy romantic relationships require a sense of harmony between our expressions of autonomy and closeness. When we have experienced threats to security and trust in previous relationships, both in our early years and in adulthood, we often find that the anxiety that comes with fear of loss or abandonment disrupts that balance and can create conflict as we negotiate life with our partners. This podcast explores the process of active self-awareness of attachment styles to facilitate productive communication of needs and anxieties, thereby achieving compromises that nurture rather than stifle the relationships themselves.
