Attachment styles: I'm not sure if either one of you are familiar with attachment styles, the four attachment styles. Everything is based on that, safety or not.
Ever wondered how your childhood experiences shape your adult relationships? In this episode of 'Sober Sisters Talk', hosts M.G. and Elizabeth Pudwill sit down with therapist Dee Gardner-Wilson to unpack the concept of emotional sobriety in relationships. Dee, a licensed therapist specializing in addiction and trauma, dives deep into how attachment styles influence our connections with others.
From secure to anxious-preoccupied, dismissive-avoidant, and fearful-avoidant, she breaks down what each style means and how they impact our sense of safety and security in relationships. Dee also sheds light on the often-misunderstood topic of narcissistic abuse. As the author of the 'Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Kit', she shares practical advice on recognizing the signs of narcissistic behavior and recovering from its damaging effects.
Listeners will gain valuable insights into maintaining sobriety through action plans and self-awareness, as well as identifying red flags in relationships. One intriguing part of the discussion is the concept of malignant empaths - individuals who use their empathy to manipulate and control others. Dee offers guidance on protecting oneself from such toxic dynamics and establishing healthy boundaries. Throughout the episode, M.G. and Elizabeth bring their own experiences to the table, making the conversation relatable and engaging.
They emphasize the importance of therapy in developing secure attachment styles and improving overall emotional well-being. Whether you're navigating sobriety or simply looking to understand your relationships better, this episode is packed with practical tips and heartfelt stories that resonate deeply.
