Why do some people find relationships so easy to navigate whilst others struggle to form emotional connections with people? In romantic relationships, why might some find it easy to communicate and talk about their feelings, when others shut down and walk away? Do we feel lots of emotions that are hard to control? Or perhaps others would describe us as being too controlling.
Our Attachment strategies can have a big influence on the way we choose to act in relationships. They also have an impact on the way we behave towards others and how we respond in specific situations. Do we have a choice over the way we act or behave? And how much of this can be connected to our early relationships with our parents or caregivers?
This talk is designed to help you gain a better understanding of Attachment and how our behavioural strategies change and adapt across the whole of the lifespan. Learning more about Attachment can greatly improve our ability to understand ourselves on a much deeper level. Become enlightened by making sense of your behaviours and learn how to form more meaningful and powerful connections with others.
Laura Hanbury is a clinician and PhD research student at Royal Holloway University. Laura’s overall work is centred around the study of how behaviours develop in the context of experienced attachment trauma and how behaviours adapt and change over the course of a lifetime.
