28 - SP - Legacy of Attachment

Our early attachment relationships with our caregivers have a strong influence on the way we currently feel in our bodies, carry ourselves, and behave with others. They also impact how well we regulate our emotions, which emotions we are allowed to feel, and the kinds of conclusions we make about people ("relational knowings").

Sometimes the adaptations we developed to ensure that our parents continued caring for us are no longer effective in our current life. Therefore, we can learn to use our resources to change our attachment patterns so that we can have healthier and more satisfying relationship experiences now.

In this video, Dr. May reviews all of these concepts plus offers several exercises designed to improve your insight and relationship awareness and develop a path forward.
