How Attachment Styles Shape Your Relationships | With Lori Benedict

I thought I was fine… until therapy.

In this episode of A Conversation with Matthew, I sit down with licensed therapist Lori Benedict for one of the most eye-opening conversations I’ve ever had.

We talk about attachment styles — anxious, avoidant, secure, and disorganized — and what they actually look like in real life. Not just in theory, but in relationships. In conflict. In the way we respond to our parents. In the way we love.

I never realized how much my childhood, my relationship with my mom, and even being raised by my aunt and uncle shaped the way I attach to people today.

Attachment styles are formed early in life, often before we even have language. They influence how safe we feel in relationships, how we handle disagreement, whether we fear abandonment, or whether we emotionally shut down.

This conversation with Lori Benedict connected dots I didn’t even know were connected.

If you’ve ever:
• Felt like you push people away
• Needed constant reassurance
• Struggled with emotional safety
• Or thought you were “fine” but something still felt off

This episode might be for you.
