In this episode, Brian and Nicole discuss attachment styles and relationship dynamics. Styles discussed include anxious, dismissive avoidant, fearful avoidant and secure attachment styles. They share their own attachment styles they’ve had throughout their life and relationships. They touch on how various characteristics of avoidant attachment can be highly damaging to a relationship and partner, as well as how anxious attachment can be very triggering and intense. They cover the emotional development of GenX men, women and the generation as a whole, and how it has possibly not only affected marriage and relationships for GenX, but contributed to the rise in divorce for them as well. Nicole once again raises the topic of perimenopause and menopause, and shares the importance of having a partner that will evolve with a woman through this phase of her life. We reflect on the fate of GenX and how recognizing your own attachment style as well as your partner’s can play a vital role. We really enjoyed delving into these topics and may revisit them in a future episode!
