Episode #21- Attachment Styles: What is Yours? What Is Your Partner's? (and why online quizzes often aren't enough to tell)

What is your attachment style, really, and how does it differ from your partner's? In this Secure Love Club session, Julie Menanno offers a clear, practical way to understand your style: it is the nature of your relationship fears plus how you manage them. She explains the core existential fear underneath all attachment behavior, how anxious partners are biased toward a direct fear of abandonment while avoidant partners fear failure and being seen as not enough, and why your worry when a partner goes quiet is your nervous system doing exactly what it evolved to do. You will learn how to accurately identify your own and your partner's patterns, why the two styles collide, and why a quick online quiz often is not enough to tell the full story. A grounding, insightful session for anyone confused about where they land on the attachment spectrum and wanting real clarity. The full teaching and examples are inside for members.
