The TBRI® Podcast | Season 3, Episode 3
Today we are continuing the conversation with Dr. Jamie DeLuna about Adult Attachment patterns. Last week we talked about Dismissive Attachment in adults, and this week we’re diving into the Preoccupied/Entangled Attachment pattern. Our host Sarah and Jamie talk about what this pattern looks like in adulthood, how it shows up in caregiving, and how to become mindful about attachment and move toward security.

Love learning about the attachment styles etc!
This prodcast was very educational and very detailed.
Very detailed. Good information
This podcast was very informative. Brought a lot to my attention.
Patterns of attachment. For adults it is called preoccupied and sometimes called entanglement. The caregiving that causes this is having to walk on eggs with parent or okay some days. For the child this is not consistent for the child therefore the child wild decide what role should I play today so this is confusing and frustrating to the child.
The child lears how to keep the caregiver close. Causing frustration and anger
Very understanding information
