Lunch & Learn: Attached: Understanding Your Style of Relating

Have you ever wondered about your style of relating within your most important relationships? Have you wondered about responses or relational patterns that trip you up, resurface again and again, or have been deemed- by yourself or others- as character flaws, immaturity, or even signs of “weak faith?”

Author and psychotherapist Adam Young writes, “Your attachment style refers to the particular way your brain has been primed to experience relationship in the present.” What’s astounding is this: your attachment style was primarily formed and developed within the first two years of life! And while these early experiences were foundational to your development and contributed to your “way of being in the world” as an adult, they can change, heal, and adapt within current relationships.

Join Abby Ellis as we explore attachment styles through a narrative lens: what are they, how do they present, how did they come to be, and how can they change, even now, as we seek to live in healthy and healing relationships.
