The 4 Attachment Styles And Why Your Relationships Keep Repeating

The 4 Attachment Styles And Why Your Relationships Keep Repeating

Author: Dear Media March 9, 2026 Duration: 59:10
In this episode of Over 50 and Flourishing, I sit down with attachment theory expert Thais Gibson for a powerful conversation about love, trauma, and the patterns that shape our relationships. Thais Gibson, PhD, is a relationship expert and the creator of Integrated Attachment Theory, a framework designed to help people understand and heal attachment patterns at their root.  We break down the four attachment styles and how they influence everything from marriage to friendships to the way we see ourselves. We also talk about the connection between attachment and rising divorce rates, how modern parenting may be shifting attachment styles, and how conditioning is not just from childhood.  Thais explains how you can rewire 40, 50, even 60 years of trauma through simple daily practices that regulate your nervous system and heal core wounds.   Resources:Visit university.personaldevelopmentschool.com and use code PDS2026 for 20% off the Personal Development School’s 90-Day Attachment Healing membership.Take the FREE Attachment Style Quiz: https://attachment.personaldevelopmentschool.com/ For more on Thais, follow her on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepersonaldevelopmentschool/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ThePersonalDevelopmentSchool TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thaisgibsonFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/461389461257253/?ref=bookmarks  Keep in Touch:Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dominiquesachse.tv/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dominiquesachse.tv/book/Insta: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/dominiquesachse/Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/DominiqueSachse/TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@dominiquesachse?lang=enYouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@dominiquesachsetv Have a question for Dominique?
