If you’ve been listening to our show for a while, you probably already know what a crucial role attachment styles played in us becoming our “2.0 selves.” This concept was so transformative for our marriage that we created a complete guide to the different attachment styles and how they play a role in relationships. For this conversation, we are focusing on how to become more securely attached within your own soul. 

Many of us often feel alone, unseen, or empty inside even if we are surrounded by family or friends. When we struggle with a fear of being hurt or a longing to belong completely, that inner turmoil can cause an ache in our relationships.

While our instinct may be to turn to a spouse or close relationship to fill that void and calm our fears, the real solution is to do the work that is needed inside our own soul. Until our inner world becomes grounded and connected, we will always struggle to feel truly secure anywhere else.

Joining us to invite each of you on a journey toward a secure soul is Dr. Alison Cook. Alison is a Psychologist of Religion, a Licensed Therapist, and host of the top-ranked podcast, The Best of You. She is known for her work that combines faith, psychology, and spiritual formation. Alison helps people cultivate a secure inner life by healing past wounds, strengthening a grounded sense of self, building healthy relationships, and experiencing God as a steady and loving presence.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • How our inner self impacts our relationships
  • How our “controller” and “shadow” aspects interact with everyday life
  • Who our greatest partner in doing this inner work is
  • And more!
