Be connected in your relationship, with Dr Tracy Dalgleish

<p>In this week's conversation I talk to Dr. Tracy Dalgleish about how our attachment styles affect our relationship dynamics, and how we can change the patterns we fall into with our partner.</p> <p>Dr. Tracy Dalgleish is a Clinical Psychologist and couples therapist who helps individuals and couples navigate the challenges we all face in our relationships and within ourselves to create a more meaningful life through therapy, wellness seminars, and her work outside of the therapy room. For over 15 years, Dr. Dalgleish has provided direct clinical services as well as researching, writing, and speaking about relationships. She provides psychological assessments, diagnosis, and individual and couple therapy for a variety of difficulties, including depression, anxiety, postpartum difficulties, stress and burnout, and relationship difficulties. </p> <p>We talk about:</p> <p>5:59 Interdependence</p> <p>9:26 The 4 S's of social attachment - safety, security, seen and soothed</p> <p>13:05 Turn taking in relationships</p> <p>15:14 Incompatibility in attachment styles</p> <p>19:50 Secure attachment</p> <p>20:16 Anxious attachment</p> <p>20:40 Avoidant attachment</p> <p>21:39 Fearful or disorganised attachment</p> <p>25:58 Being on the same team, when you're differently 'flammable'</p> <p>29:40 Common cycles couples all into and how to break them</p> <p>32:54 Toxic masculinity and emotional expression</p> <p>36:48 Perfectionism and unrealistic expectations</p> <p>39:52 Pervasive myths about relationships</p> <p>41:00 When to go your separate ways</p> <p>46:17 Tolerating relationship calibrations</p> <p>49:03 How Dr Tracy pauses and plays</p> <p>52:25 Dr Tracy's takeaway for you</p> <p> </p> <p><a href='https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lasting-Connection-Developing-Compassion-Yourself/dp/1472144279/ref=sr_1_1?crid=5G1A3OMZGL3L&dchild=1&keywords=the+lasting+connection&qid=1611161529&sprefix=the+lasting+conn%2Caps%2C151&sr=8-1'>Pre-order my book at Amazon here.</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Instagr
