Understanding Attachment Styles: Men's Mental Health Through a Faith-Based Lens

We're all working towards a secure attachment. We have to have experiences that challenge our view, our map of, if I believe, one way about the world I need, I need to come across a different part of the map.
How do past relationships shape the way men connect with others today? In this thought-provoking episode of 'No Man Is An Island,' host Matthew Long sits down with Alex Sullivan, LCSW, to unpack the complexities of attachment theory and its impact on men's mental health. They dive into the four main attachment styles—secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized—and discuss how these patterns influence current relationships.
You'll hear Alex's expert insights on how therapy can help men develop a secure attachment style and why active listening is crucial in fostering healthy connections. Whether you're curious about your own attachment style or looking for ways to improve your relationships, this episode offers valuable perspectives and practical advice. Tune in to understand how past relationships can affect your present and learn steps to build stronger, more secure bonds.
