    The Two Attachment Strategies You’ve Never Heard Of with Dr. Carol George

    Why do some people shut down in relationships, while others cling tightly in fear of losing connection? Attachment theory has long identified four core attachment strategies across the lifespan: Secure → Secure Anxious-Ambivalent → Preoccupied Anxious-Avoidant → Dismissive Disorganized → Unresolved/Dysregulated (often referred to as fearful avoidant) But what if “dismissive” and “preoccupied” are not simply personality styles… but adaptive responses to unresolved pain? In my conversation with Carol George — a pioneer in attachment research — she introduces two profound branches that emerge from unresolved/dysregulated attachment: Dismissive: Failed Mourning Preoccupied: Suffering This conversation explores attachment not as pathology, but as survival, not as weakness, but as the nervous system’s attempt to protect us from grief, fear, loss, and disconnection.

    When Anxious Meets Avoidant: The Relationship Pattern We Don’t Talk About

    I recently spoke to a creative group about burnout, but their questions led us somewhere deeper into relationships, attachment and shadow work. In this short solo episode, I break down one of the most common dynamics I see as a therapist, the pairing of a preoccupied anxious attachment with a dismissive avoidant attachment. I talk about how childhood conditioning shapes these patterns, how they show up in marriage and at work, and why both people often end up feeling unseen or overwhelmed. If you have ever wondered why your relationship feels imbalanced or why you keep repeating certain reactions, this quick teaching will help you understand the deeper story underneath.

    Why You Act Like This: The Enneagram and Shadow Work with Suzanne Stabile

    As a psychotherapist, I’m joined by my wife and producer, Larissa, for a conversation with our friend Suzanne Stabile, a teacher, author, and one of the most respected voices in the Enneagram community. This is actually Suzanne’s first time publicly talking about The Shadow and the Enneagram, and we learned so much from each other in this conversation. Here’s a glimpse of what we talk about: • How each Enneagram type (1 through 9) experiences its shadow side • What the shadow can teach us about our emotional and spiritual growth • The connection between awareness, compassion, and self-acceptance • Real stories about staying curious, honest, and kind with ourselves and others This episode is honest, thoughtful, and full of “aha” moments as we explore what it really means to do deep inner work through the lens of the Enneagram. If you’re new to the Enneagram, Suzanne’s book The Road Back to You is the perfect starting place.
