Episode 3055:
Dr. Lisa Firestone explains how our earliest attachment experiences create internal “working models” that shape who we choose as partners, how we behave in relationships, and what we expect from others. By understanding these patterns and creating a coherent narrative of our childhood experiences, we can develop greater security, break unhealthy cycles, and build stronger, more fulfilling relationships.

"If we’re wondering why certain dynamics keep playing out or patterns keep developing in our relationships, it’s important to consider the working models we’re bringing to the table." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
