Shawna Bannerman: The Connection Between Attachment Styles and Having Hard Conversations

Themes: Attachment styles, Trauma, Self-awareness, Relationships, Sharing Controversial Ideas 

Summary: 

Check out this convo with my good friend Shawna Bannerman the creator and owner of @everpressed.  We lived and worked together during the pandemic and quickly realized we had very different ways of reacting to connection and dealing with conflict. In this conversation we dive into:

☑️Navigating anxious and avoidant attachment styles while living together.

☑️Speaking up about the injustices in the world.

☑️ How to deal with conflict and why it’s important.

☑️ Having hard convos

There is so much more we could have talked about, and if you have never heard some of these ideas around attachment styles but are resonating with this convo the book Attached by Amir Levine and Rachel S.F Heller is a great place to start. This will give you a breakdown of the ideas and the knowledge of what you may be experiencing. However, if you have understood these ideas but still can not seem to change the patterns, something we did not talk about in this podcast which is very important when truly healing these behavioural patterns is nervous system health.

Thank you for listening and sharing if you get value from this chat! ❤
