The problem with the attachment styles FAD

We discuss the current attachment styles trend, how it’s often misused in therapy, and how people get stuck diagnosing themselves or others based on this framework. Jonathan shares his concerns about therapists diagnosing attachment styles without proper qualifications and how this may not be as helpful as many believe. We also talk about how this trend can sometimes limit people, boxing them into negative self-beliefs that prevent growth and healing in relationships.

Jonathan offers a refreshing perspective, focusing on actionable solutions. Instead of asking "why" we feel insecure or unsafe in our relationships, he emphasizes the importance of asking "what" we can do to feel more secure and emotionally supported. He encourages individuals to focus on what they want in their relationships and take practical steps toward achieving it. We explore how shifting the mindset from problem-focused to solution-focused thinking can dramatically improve the quality of our connections.

We also discuss how attachment styles, while useful to some extent, should not define us or limit our ability to create emotionally secure relationships. Jonathan draws on the inspiring example of Bethany Hamilton, who overcame the loss of her arm to continue surfing, showing that with the right mindset, we can all overcome emotional challenges and build healthier relationships. Don’t miss this conversation where we challenge the attachment style fad and offer insights on how you can build stronger, more secure relationships, no matter your background or history.
