About
Welcome to Trust & Thrive! My name is Tara Montazeri and I'm an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. Through insightful and vulnerable discussions, I hope to inspire my listeners to trust the process of their unique journey and thrive as their most authentic self. I aim to encourage these actions with a conscious, practical, and attainable approach to self-reflection and community care. I often feature individuals from a multitude of professional fields, levels of expertise, and life experiences who generously share their stories and invaluable knowledge to my listeners and me. My guests and I touch on topics related to mental health, relationships, systemic issues, generational wounds, and other topics that influence us in our everyday lives. I hope these conversations encourage us to approach our journey of self-awareness in a thoughtful, mindful and compassionate way.

Attachment theory helps explain why some relationships feel safe, connected, and easy to repair, while others feel stuck in the same painful cycle. In adult relationships, attachment shows up in what triggers us, how our bodies react to disconnection, and the strategies we use to get safe again. Understanding attachment can help you stop seeing your partner as the enemy and start seeing the real problem more clearly.
