Re-parentingRelationshipsLineage
Written By Nicole Lawrence

This two-part series with guest Patti Elledge, MA, SEP gives an overview of Attachment styles and how our early individual, familial and societal influences shape how we relate, bond, and parent into adulthood.

Part two takes a deeper look at insecure attachment styles, how they're formed in childhood and how they manifest as behaviors we carry into adulthood. Attachment history can explain the root of internalized beliefs & feelings each of us carry, such as:

  • How much your needs matter vs. another’s

  • How you feel about asking for help

  • How it feels to receive

  • How it feels to share your opinions

  • How quick you are to judge yourself & others

  • Your ability to trust others, or yourself

  • Your relationship to conflict and peacekeeping

Host Nicole Lawrence and Guest Patti Elledge share details about their therapeutic session in 2018, as an example of how working with the body and a secure "other" can reveal doorways for deep, long-lasting healing and re-patterning of early experiences.
