How to Improve Any Relationship: The 4 Attachment Styles You Need to Know & Tools to Become More Secure

What if you could show up in any relationship feeling secure, exactly as you are?

You didn’t have to overthink every text you sent.

You wouldn’t have to play the dating games.

If somebody ghosted you, it wouldn’t be the end of the world.

Well I’m here to tell you today that you CAN be that person.

Meet the phenomenal Dr. Marisa Franco, New York Times bestselling author of “Platonic” and expert on attachment theory.

Today, we’re shining a light on your attachment style.

What is an attachment style?

Simple. It’s a framework backed by decades of research that will help you understand how you show up in relationships.

There are 4 attachment styles, and whether you’re aware of it or not, you default to one of them.

If you have a hard time setting boundaries with family members…

If you keep dating the same kind of people…

If you cling to relationships that have long expired…

Or if you’ve never been able to connect with someone on a deeply emotional level.

Blame your attachment style.

And here’s the good news: when you understand attachment theory, you can change your default attachment style and become more secure, which leads to happier and healthier relationships.

You deserve that, which is why this episode is for you.

Today, Dr. Franco breaks down the 4 attachment styles that make or break your relationships, AND the powerful tools you can use to improve them.

Once you understand your attachment style, you’ll have a lens through which to improve absolutely every relationship, especially the one you have with yourself.

Because at the deepest level, becoming more secure is about allowing love in.

Just Amazing!

The thing about Mel & her guests are the fact that they can make a highly complex topic easily understood and digested. It's like just sitting with my girlfriends having a drink and discussing life as it happens to us. Just amazing.

Truly Inspiring

I learned so much from this episode! Everyone should listen to this!
I Love you Mel! Keep up the good work! 🥰

Understand... at last!

I really appreciated this talk because it has allowed me to examine close relationships around me and understand more about why I have struggled with some of them. it's also allowed me to figure out who in my life has a secure attachment style and made me value them even more. I like hearing tips for dealing with individuals who have avoidant attachment styles and also tips for improving my own anxious approach. I have felt some of these things but it was great to have confirmation and terminology to describe them.

omg what an amazing talk!!!

I loved it and it is also actionable. thank you so much!!! I am inspired to work on my attachment style.
