In this episode of the Why Intervention Podcast, host Christopher Doyle sits down with Shanenn Bryant, a pattern transformation expert and founder of Top Self. Shanenn shares her journey of overcoming childhood trauma and its impact on adult relationships and addiction. Drawing from her own experiences with an alcoholic father, she explains how early attachment wounds shape our behaviours and relationship patterns later in life.
With a mix of personal anecdotes and professional insights, Shanenn sheds light on different attachment styles - secure, anxious, dismissive avoidant, and fearful avoidant - and how they influence our interactions with others. She emphasises the importance of recognising these patterns to break free from limiting behaviours and create healthier relationships. Shanenn also discusses the role of self-awareness in healing and transforming one's life.
